Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy Concerning Financial Aid

To continue receiving Federal and/or State Financial Aid, students must meet the minimum ag亚游集团App下载令人满意的学术进步政策(SAP)规定的要求. 请注意,这些标准与ag亚游集团App下载的标准不同 Good Standing.

This Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy applies to undergraduate students who participate in the following programs:

[Satisfactory Academic Progress for graduate students is different and is defined by the Office of Graduate Studies.]

To be in good standing for Financial Aid purposes, a student must have earned at least 75% of the hours he/she has attempted with a cumulative GPA of :

如果你达不到这个标准,你将被给予经济资助缓刑 the following semester. During this semester you will still be eligible to receive aid. To get back in good standing you will need to meet the policy requirements by the end of the probation semester.

如果你在试用期结束前没有达到政策要求,你将被开除 will be placed on financial aid suspension UNLESS during the most recent semester you earn 100% of the hours you attempt during that semester with a 2.25 semester GPA. In this case you will be placed on conditional probation.

During conditional probation you will still be eligible to receive aid. To continue on conditional probation you must earn 100% of the hours you attempt during a semester with a semester GPA of at least 2.25. If you fail to meet the conditional probation requirements, you will be placed on financial aid suspension.

To get off of conditional probation you must meet the requirements of the SAP policy. Once a student is on financial aid suspension, he/she is not eligible for any Federal or State Financial Aid until the standards of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy have been met.

一个学生最多有195个尝试学分来完成本科学业 degree. Once a student has reached 195 attempted credit hours, he/she will no longer be eligible for Federal or State Financial Aid. For students pursuing a second bachelor's degree, the maximum timeframe is 150% of the number of hours needed to complete the degree. 这是通过书记官长办公室进行的信用评估来确定的. For instance, if the student has 140 credit hours and needs 30 hours to earn a second degree, the student will have financial aid eligibility for a maximum of 45 attempted credit hours.

Satisfactory Academic Progress is measured at the end of each semester. Summer is considered a separate semester. If a student's earned hours or cumulative GPA falls below the minimum standard indicated in the policy, he/she will be notified in writing. The student will also be notified if he/she has met the maximum timeframe.

Repeat courses count as attempted hours, but the hours can only be earned once. For 例如,如果一个学生在一个学期修了3个学分的课程,并且得了D,那么他的成绩就是D hours are counted as attempted and earned. If the student later repeats the course, 3个小时被添加到尝试中,但赚取的时间不会增加,因为 of the repeat. However, because a grade of F does not count as earned hours, a student 在以后的时间里,如果再考一次F,而又考了D,那么这个学时就会被计算在内 attempted and earned when the course is repeated.

总学时包括A、A-、B+、B、B-、C+、C-、D+、D、F、S、 U, W, I, SA, UA, NR, NG and all transfer credits.

Total hours earned includes grades of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, S and all transfer credits. Cumulative GPA calculation includes grades of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, and F.

学生有责任在评分时通知经济援助办公室 of I, NR, NG is changed to a grade by the instructor so Satisfactory Academic Progress can be re-evaluated.
