Standards of Academic Progress Academic Progress is a requirement for all students receiving federal, state, or institutional financial aid. Academic progress toward graduation is measured on a semester basis.
Measurement is conducted at the close of the spring term of a full academic year.
Degree credits earned during summer sessions can be added to your yearly total to meet the minimum credit requirement. Summer sessions are not counted in the cumulative enrollment. Consistent with federal regulations, in order to receive aid, you must be making minimal progress regardless of whether you have previously received aid. Students who are not meeting the minimum requirements are notified of their deficiency. If you fall more than 6 credits behind the minimum academic progress standard, you may be eligible for one year of additional financial aid through a special appeal process.
