Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 610 - State Regents for Higher Education › Chapter 25 - Student Financial Aid and Scholarships › Subchapter 33 - Regional University Baccalaureat Scholarship Program › Section 610:25-33-5 - Criteria for Continued Eligibility

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
				Participants awarded a scholarship must maintain a 3.25 cumulative or
				retention/graduation grade-point-average. A program year is defined as
				beginning in the fall semester and continuing through the summer term. The
				cumulative or retention/graduation grade-point-average will be determined at
				the end of the program year, i.e., between the summer and fall terms.
(b) Scholarship recipients must maintain
				full-time enrollment each semester. Full-time enrollment shall mean a minimum
				of 12 hours per semester and 24 hours in the two regular semesters. Students
				who, due to extraordinary circumstances during the semester, drop below the
				minimum of 12 hours of initial enrollment, must earn 24 credit hours for the
				two regular semesters to retain eligibility for the next program year. Students
				will be eligible for summer awards if they have earned 24 semester credit hours
				in the preceding two regular semesters. Students who receive part-time awards
				for summer must enroll in at least 6 credit hours and must complete a total of
				at least 30 credit hours during the full academic year (fall, spring, summer).
				Students who receive full-time awards for summer must enroll in at least 12
				credit hours and must complete a total of at least 36 credit hours during the
				full academic year (fall, spring, summer). Hours of enrollment required for
				summer awards may consist of a combination of summer and intersession
				enrollment. Part-time awards, for enrollment of 6 to 11 credit hours, made for
				the summer term will count as one-half of a semester used in the program and
				will be in the amount of one-half of a semester award. Full time awards, for
				enrollment of 12 or more credit hours, made for the summer term will count as a
				full semester used in the program and will be in the amount of one semester
				award. Students who require less than 12 credit hours for graduation purposes
				during the last semester of undergraduate enrollment may request payment of
				their scholarship in the amount of a one-half semester award for at least six
				hours of enrollment. The term will count as one-half semester used in the
				program.
(c) A student who fails to
				meet the continued eligibility requirements will be removed from the program
				without academic scholarship assistance the following semester. Any semester
				during which the student does not receive an award due to failure to meet the
				continuing eligibility requirements is counted as a semester used in the
				program and is deducted from the eight semesters allotted for the program. A
				student may be reinstated to the program:
(1)
				If the student achieves a 3.25 cumulative or retention/graduation grade-point
				average at the end of the following fall or spring semester or summer
				term;
(2) If the student in the
				following fall or spring semester remedies the credit-hour deficiency by
				earning twelve credit hours in addition to the number of hours by which the
				student is deficient; or if the student earns the deficient credits in the
				following summer term.
