Attend All Classes to Avoid Delay in Financial Aid

Welcome back to IUP and the start of a new academic year!

Success begins the moment you step into the classroom or log-in to your courses. Class attendance and participation are critical to your college success. The US Department of Education regulations mandate that students who do not attend class can delay or lose their financial aid.

If you cannot attend a class for any valid reason, let your instructor know. If you do not attend class during the first week of the semester (without letting your instructor know), your instructor will enter an “N” grade onto your record. This can have an impact on your financial aid.

Everyone at IUP is committed to helping you succeed. If you need assistance, do not hesitate to contact any of the following individuals: 

• Your course instructors
• Your academic advisor 
• Your college Dean’s office
• Your navigator

You can also utilize the academic services and resources at University College - IUP. Please contact the University College at universitycollege-inquiry@iup.edu if you need assistance.

Good luck this semester!
