While students are generally expected to be thoughtful and responsible when it comes to budgeting for the costs associated with pursuing their college degree, MTSU is well aware that an unexpected life crisis can create a significant academic hardship for students.  While the university is not able to solve every financial crisis that may emerge, resources may be available to help students manage a temporary unexpected set-back that threatens their ability to complete their college degree. 

In the event such hardship occurs, a student should discuss the matter with their advisor for possible help.
