All transfer credits accepted by Bethel will be used in determining when the maximum time frame requirement has been reached. Students may, however, appeal to have only the credits accepted toward their Bethel degree included in the maximum time frame calculation. Transfer credits are also used when calculating the required completion percentage. Students who already have a first graduate degree are eligible for loans if they are pursuing teacher licensure or a second degree. These students have an additional 68 attempted hours before exceeding the maximum time frame.
Students are eligible to receive financial aid during the probationary period.
At the end of the probation period, students must again be making satisfactory academic progress as outlined above or financial aid will be terminated. Students will be removed from financial aid probation if they are again making satisfactory academic progress. Appeals Students who fail to meet satisfactory academic progress standards and lose financial aid eligibility can appeal this decision. The appeal must be made in writing and should be accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation. Appeals should be submitted to the Office of College Financial Planning, and will be evaluated by the Financial Aid Committee.
