Students are expected to achieve a minimum cumulative GPA as outlined in the chart below. Students cannot receive financial aid for more than 180 degree credits attempted. Transfer credits are included in determining attempted credit hours. Withdrawals, grades of incomplete', audits', and courses that are repeated are included in determining a student's Satisfactory Academic Progress status. All students who fail to meet any of the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy requirements will be placed on financial aid probation.
Students continue to be eligible for financial aid while on financial aid probation.
Students who fail to meet the minimum Satisfactory Academic Progress policy requirements by the end of their probationary period automatically become ineligible for financial aid. Students in ineligible status may submit an appeal in writing if the student has extenuating circumstances such as personal or family illness or injury. All appeals must be substantiated by appropriate documentation and submitted to the Financial Aid Office Appeals Committee. Students who were placed in ineligible status may be reinstated once all Satisfactory Academic Progress deficiencies have been met. Students records will be reviewed at the end of each academic year to determine eligibility for reinstatement.
