Baylor University Institutional Policy:
TEG may be awarded to those who received their first TEG award after 9/1/05 under hardship conditions that may include but are not limited to:
- Serious illness or debilitating condition that affects academic performance
- Death of family member
- Divorce of parents
For students beyond their second year of undergraduate study, a designated financial administrator will assess each appeal on a case-by-case basis. We will use professional judgment to determine if the appeal warrants an exception after reviewing the totality of the individual student’s situation. If a student loses eligibility for TEG, he/she may be assessed for reinstatement the following year as part of the Satisfactory Academic Policy review. We will only perform a midyear review of a student’s’ CGPA and earned hours if requested by the student.
