🏫 College Advising

A student receiving federal financial aid is notified that they are no longer meeting the university's Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements. What is the MOST immediate and significant consequence this student is likely to face?

A Automatic expulsion from the university.
B Ineligibility to participate in campus clubs and organizations.
C Loss of federal financial aid eligibility, potentially requiring them to pay tuition out-of-pocket.
D Mandatory change of major to a less demanding program.

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

Failing to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements directly jeopardizes a student's eligibility for federal financial aid, including grants and loans, potentially leading to the loss of funding and increased out-of-pocket expenses for tuition.
