Academic Progress is a requirement for all students receiving federal, state, or institutional aid. The qualitative measure is set by the school or college you attend and is referred to as Academic Standing. This is the quantitative measure. 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 cummulative enrollment. In order to receive aid, you must be making minimal progress regardless of whether you have previously received aid. If you are enrolled in a designated five-year program, you may receive up to 12 terms of federal and university aid, but only 11 terms of state financial aid. If you are an EOF student enrolled in a four-year program, you may receive up to 12 terms of federal, state, and university aid.
