This policy takes effect Summer 2001. Federal regulations state that all students who receive any federal or state financial assistance will be required to make measurable academic progress toward a degree at Bellarmine University. Progress is determined quantitatively and qualitatively.
Progress is monitored at the conclusion of the spring and summer semesters.
Undergraduate students attending part-time will be required to earn a minimum of 6 hours per semester. Graduate students attending part-time will be required to earn a minimum of 5 hours per semester. Incomplete and deferred grades will not be considered as hours earned for a semester until a grade is received. Transfer hours accepted at Bellarmine are considered in the total number of hours attempted. Graduate students must maintain a cumulative 3.0 GPA in order to retain financial aid.
