The following is how that policy relates to Title IV Federal Student Aid. Black Hills State utilizes a system of academic probation and suspension under which academic records are reviewed at the conclusion of each academic year. For students enrolled for only one semester during the academic year, their satisfactory progress will be measured on one semester. At the time Federal Student Aid is awarded, the student must be making Satisfactory Academic Progress. Any exception would require that the student submit a letter of appeal to obtain Federal Student Aid not previously awarded.
Hours attempted - include all hours in which the student enrolled.
This includes withdrawals, incompletes, and repeats. Audits and non-credit remedial courses will not count as hours attempted. A maximum of 18 semester hours of repeated classes can be counted as hours attempted. Incompletes are counted only in the semester in which the student enrolled for the class. Hours completed - include only those hours for which a grade was received.
