								Policy statement
			 and purpose
This policy provides the requirements
				for undergraduate academic honors. This policy applies to students graduating
				fall semester 2023 and thereafter.
(B)
								Policy
(1)
									Dean's list
Full-time undergraduate students who
				demonstrate a high level of excellence in academic work have their names placed
				on the academic dean's list. The requirement for achieving the academic dean's
				list is a grade point average of 3.50 or above in the preceding semester with
				no fewer than twelve credit hours per semester included in the grade point
				average computation.
(2)
									Graduation with
			 academic honors
The record of each undergraduate
				candidate for graduation with a very high grade point average is carefully
				reviewed by the university committee on honors and awards so that appropriate
				recognition and honor may be accorded each student who has achieved outstanding
				academic success throughout their undergraduate years at Bowling Green state
				university. The tentative honor, announced at commencement and released to the
				newspapers, is calculated without the grades from the student's last academic
				semester. The final honor that is on the permanent record and diploma is based
				on the student's Bowling Green State University academic record. To be eligible
				for academic honors, students must earn a minimum of sixty letter-graded credit
				hours at BGSU for baccalaureate degrees and a minimum of thirty letter-graded
				credit hours for associate degrees. Courses that are under the A-F
				letter-graded grading system are considered for Academic Honors
				calculation.

				undergraduate student will not be fewer than twelve hours at any time. A
				full-time student normally should be registered for fifteen to sixteen hours
				per semester. Enrollment for more than eighteen hours requires the approval of
				the student's college office.
Students who maintain an academic load
				of fifteen to sixteen hours per semester will make progress toward a timely
				degree completion and will advance in class standing each year, allowing them
				such benefits as priority for class registration and student housing. A
				full-time student who drops enough hours to become a part-time student is
				eligible to remain in university-owned housing and to retain membership in
				university organizations; however, the student is subject to the following
				restrictions:
(a)
										Ineligibility for intercollegiate
			 athletics;

(B)
								Policy
Sometimes a change of major or degree
				program may also involve a change of college. Students may have entered BGSU as
				undecided, have not been able to complete their current major or degree as
				planned, or have different career goals than when they first entered BGSU. In
				addition to consulting with their advisors, students are strongly encouraged to
				contact the career center (419-372-2356) for assistance in career planning and
				to identify careers that align with their interests, values, and
				skills.
A student who wishes to change a major
				or degree program within a college should notify the college office. At that
				time, an appropriate advisor will be assigned.
A student who wishes to change from a
				major in one college to a major in another college should consult a college
				advisor in the intended college about eligibility and requirements for the
				intended college and degree program (see associate degree programs or
				baccalaureate degree programs). Academic advisors are available in the intended
				college office to
(1)
									help students select the
			 degree program that best meets individual needs and interests,
			 and
(2)
									review the requirements of
			 the intended major or degree program to assure that a student's plan of study
			 will meet the entry and program requirements.
Following the student's consultation
				with a college advisor, a determination is made by the intended college office
				to approve or not to approve the transfer. The intended college dean's (or
				designee's) signature on the college transfer form is the record of approval to
				transfer. If transfer to the intended college is not approved, a college
				transfer form will not be issued or signed. In either case, the student will be
				notified of the college's decision. A copy of the signed form indicating
				approval to transfer is given to the student and a copy is sent to the
				student's current college. Once a student's current college receives a signed
				college transfer form, that college will transmit the student's file to the new
				college.

Concurrent enrollment at Bowling Green
				state university and the university of Toledo allows a student with at least a
				two point zero GPA to take courses at both universities and receive credit
				toward a degree. To be enrolled concurrently during a single term, a student
				must be registered for at least one course at both institutions. If a Bowling
				Green student takes all courses at Toledo during a single term, then that
				student must register at the university of Toledo as a transient or guest
				student. See BGSU students enrolled as guests at another institution.
				University of Toledo students are admitted to BGSU as guest students to
				participate in this program.
Under this policy, the university that
				has most recently granted formal admission to the student is designated as the
				home university. The other university is the host institution.
A student registering for at least one
				course at both universities and for eight hours or more of coursework at the
				home university shall pay all fees to the home university. If a student
				registers for fewer than eight hours at the home university, instructional,
				general, and nonresident fees are to be paid at the separate universities.
				Special course fees are payable to the teaching institution.
All coursework taken under concurrent
				registration will be registered at each university. It will be included in the
				calculation of a student's grade point average at the home university. Students
				must obtain the approval of the proposed course work from the office of the
				dean of their college before enrolling in concurrent courses at the university
				of Toledo.
Coursework completed at the university
				of Toledo may not be used to delete an "F" or other low grades previously
				earned at Bowling Green state university in grade point average
				computation.
Concurrent enrollment forms are
				available through the office of registration and records at either institution

http://www.bgsu.edu/admissions/scholarships-and-financial-aid.html
(B)
								
			 Policy
If you are eligible and aid funds are
				available, you will receive a "package" composed of funds from different
				sources. These funds are combined with your resources in an attempt to meet
				your financial need. The types and amounts of financial aid in your package are
				limited by regulatory maximums, your academic class status (freshman,
				sophomore, etc.), grade point average, fund availability, your enrollment
				status (full- or part-time), and your level of need. Keep in mind that your
				financial aid package may change as a result of new application data, the
				verification process, changes in your enrollment status, or office
				error.
Following the receipt of your FAFSA
				results, a financial aid "package" will be offered to you. The financial aid
				package will contain one or a combination of grants, scholarships, loans,
				and/or work study. Grants and scholarships are sources of student financial aid
				which are available for education expenses with no requirement to repay.
				Student loans are the most common source of student financial aid and must be
				repaid. Students receiving a loan are required to sign a promissory note which
				details the conditions of the loan. Finally, you may receive work study
				eligibility which requires you secure a job before receiving
				funds.
Criteria for selecting recipients for
				financial aid awards vary. federal loans, federal Pell grrant, federal TEACH
				grant, and state grants are awarded to students who meet eligibility
				requirements specific to each of those programs. Additional information about
				applying for and receiving federal student aid may be found on the department
				of education's website:
https://studentaid.ed.gov
.
FSEOG, federal Perkins loan and federal
				work study are subject to funding limitations. Because finding for these
				programs is limited, BGSU uses a priority FAFSA filing date of February
				fifteenth to encourage undergraduate students to apply early and ensure they
				can be considered for these award program. Awards are made through an automated
				selection process. Award amounts will depend on annual funding
				limitations.
Scholarships from BGSU always have
				award-specific criteria and also limited funds. Most BGSU scholarship criteria
				can be found by using the searchable scholarship guide or by contacting the
				department or agency awarding the scholarship. Most scholarships are awarded
				through a selection process where applications are evaluated by a scholarship
				selection committee.

										International students whose native language is not
			 English may be exempted by proficiency or by successful completion of ESOL
			 1000, ESOL 1010, ESOL 1030, and ESOL 1040. A student's score on the English
			 proficiency test determines the required courses in this sequence. For more

				also involves placement testing and an introduction to the campus. Guest
				students must complete a guest application form before participating in open
				registration, and former students must be readmitted. Applications for
				readmission and guest student applications can be obtained from the office of
				registration and records and from the registration and records web
				site:

(A)
								Policy statement and purpose
Ensure Title IV funds are being
				awarded/disbursed in accordance with federal regulations governing enrollment
				status eligibility. This is a policy about the effect of enrollment status and
				retaking coursework provisions and limitations on financial aid.
(B)
								Policy
You may count toward enrollment status
				and award Title IV funds to a student who is repeating, for the first time only
				(i.e. one repetition per class), a previously passed course in a term-based
				program. Students enrolled in a non-term-based programs may not receive credit
				for retaking coursework. For this purpose, passed means any grade higher than
				an "F," regardless of any school or program policy requiring a higher
				qualitative grade or measurement to have been considered to have passed the
				course.
A student may be repeatedly paid for
				repeatedly failing the same course (normal satisfactory academic progress
				policy still applies to such cases). However, if a student passes a class once
				and then is repaid for retaking it and fails the second time, that failure
				counts as their paid retake and the student may not be paid for retaking the
				class a third time.

(B) Policy
If a
				student retakes  a course at the
				university, it must be retaken under the same grading option as selected
				initially.
If a student retakes a course at the university
				 the following
				
									conditions apply:
(1)
									Students may
			 repeat undergraduate courses no more than two times (a maximum of three
			 attempts per course) Withdrawal from a course is counted as an attempt.
			 (Courses designated as "repeatable for credit" are exempt from the
			 three-attempt limit.)
(2) If a student
			 retakes a course at the university in which a grade of "U" was received, it
			 will have no effect on the cumulative grade point average.
(3)
									Retaking the
			 course removes the hours and the effect of the earlier grades from the
			 calculation of the GPA. However, all grades appear on the permanent academic
			 record (transcript). The highest grade earned is the one used to calculate the
			 GPA, and only that instance's credit hours are accepted toward any requirements
			 for graduation. A "W" will not replace a previous grade.
(4)
									
									The retake
			 policy does not apply to any punitive grade awarded as a result of an
			 academic honesty case.
									 In
			 this case
									 students may retake these
			 courses , but
			 both grades will be used in the calculation of the cumulative grade point
			 average.
(5)
									If a student receives a grade of "F," "I," "U," or "WF"
			 in a course and then receives credit for that course by successful completion
			 of a similar course at another institution, the credit hours and quality points
			 for the first registration at BGSU will continue to be used in computing the
			 student's grade point average.
(6)
									Retaking a course
			 after graduation will not change the student's undergraduate GPA or honors
			 status.
