Summer is considered as one semester for satisfactory academic progress purposes.
Summers are considered as a trailer to the regular academic year. Courses which are being repeated are eligible to be counted as hours enrolled for financial aid purposes. Failure to complete coursework for which the student received an incomplete will result in the increase of the hours attempted, which will be considered in the subsequent review of satisfactory academic progress using the standards delineated below. Students who have attempted more than 100 hours will have an informational transcript requested by Financial Assistance. For students who have attempted MORE THAN 64 credit hours, grades will be reviewed at the end of each academic term.
