Students must be making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), which requires a 2.00 cumulative GPA and a 67% cumulative pass rate (hours earned divided by hours attempted). Students who have been granted an appeal of their financial aid suspension, may be placed on an Academic Plan – the requirements of which must be met each semester thereafter until they reach good standing.
Students must also be able complete their program of study within 150% of the credit hours required for the program, and all hours attempted, with the exception of developmental classes, will be counted even if the student changes programs or graduates from one program and starts a new one.
Example: AA – 60 credit hour program; therefore a student has up to 90 credit hours to complete the program. If they have attempted 50 credit hours of courses, they must be able to complete the program in another 40 credit hours.
Financial aid eligibility ceases at the time of determination they cannot complete the program within the time frame. They still have the right to appeal and possibly be placed on an Academic Plan.
