Academic progress is reviewed once per year, except for maximum hours completed, which will be evaluated each semester. Your status at the end of the summer term will determine if you qualify to receive financial aid for the next academic year. The academic year is Fall, Spring and Summer terms. For entering, first-time freshman students, the satisfactory progress requirements is met by being accepted as a regular student in an eligible program requiring that the student have a high school diploma, GED, or passing an approved Ability to Benefit Test. Thereafter, satisfactory progress is being made when meeting or exceeding a minimum quantity and quality of course work at Blinn College.
Hours earned include developmental and transfer courses.
Students who have earned an Associate Degree and continue enrollment at Blinn are not making Satisfactory Progress. The minimum quality standard requires that a student maintain at least a 2.00 cumulative grade point average on all work attempted. The quantity and quality of transferred work is determined the same as had it been attempted at Blinn College. A grade of IP in a developmental course is treated as a grade of W. Hours earned in repeated courses count only once in determining quantity. Failure to maintain the Standards of Progress will result in automatic suspension of financial aid.
