LENGTH OF TIME/TIME LIMIT

Students are allowed 150 percent (1.5 percent) of the published length (per the Miles College catalog) of the Program measured in credit hours attempted to complete the academic program of study. For instance, if your academic program requires 126 credit hours to complete the program, (Criminal Justice Major) the maximum time frame established by Miles College for you to complete your program can not exceed 189 attempted credit hours. Since different majors require a different number of hours to complete a program, the maximum number of credit hours required to remain eligible for aid, will differ based upon your major.
Any student who feels that he/she was unable to maintain satisfactory progress due to mitigating or extenuating circumstances beyond his/her control (i.e., personal illness, death in the immediate family or other documented hardships), should contact the Financial Aid Director about submitting an appeal. The student must be prepared to provide written documentation to substantiate his/her situation.
Financial Aid is cancelled when a student is on academic suspension or has been dismissed by the College. To secure Title IV Federal Aid and/or State Aid the student must appeal to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee and wait for the committee’s decision.
Residents of the State of Alabama who are recipients of Alabama Student Grants are ineligible to receive such grants when the total number of years, exceeds by more than twenty-five percent (25%),( five years/ 8 semester/sessions for a four-year program), the number of years required for the individual student’s course of study per the College’s catalog.
