Standards of Measurable Academic Progress

Financial Aid recipients must maintain satisfactory academic progress as one of the criteria for receiving Federal/State Financial Aid. The requirements for making satisfactory progress are:
1.0
Quantitative– the amount of work you are required to complete (75% of attempted hours)
2.0 Qualitative- the grade point average you are required to maintain.
Hours Attempted
Minimum Required G.P.A.
0-31 1.60
32-63 1.80
64-above 2.00
In addition to the cumulative grade point average requirements indicated above, a full-time or part-time student is expected to have completed 75% of the hours for which he/she has enrolled/ attempted.
By the end of your second year of enrollment, without regards to the number of hours attempted or earned the student must have earned the grade point average, which is consistent with graduation. The grade point average consistent with graduation requirements is a “C”. All Transfer and Re- Admitted students must meet the minimum grade-point standards as well as complete the percentage of work required as stated in this section in order to be eligible for financial aid.
Incompletes
An incomplete grade (“I”) does not count towards course work completed, but is counted with course work attempted. An (“I”) grade is intended to be only an interim course mark. It is to be used only if a student has satisfactory completed at least 75% of the course requirements, and there is an excusable and acceptable reason for his/her not having completed all requirements prior to grade reporting time. With the awarding of the “I”, the instructor must include information as to the specific requirements for changing the “I” to a permanent grade. A grade of “I” must be changed by the end of the next Semester in which the student is enrolled.
Withdrawals
If a student officially withdraws before the last two weeks of the semester, he/she will receive a grade of “W”. A grade of “W” is also counted among the hours attempted.
Repeats
Repeated courses are counted each time the student re enrolls in the class and counts each time among the scheduled hours attempted. The U. S. Department of Education does place a limit on the length of time a student has to complete a Remedial/Developmental Course, the limit is one year. The U. S. Department of Education will not pay for a Remedial and/or Developmental course, which take more than one year to complete.
Incompletes, withdrawals, repeats, may cause you to use up the allotted time for completing a degree program using Federal/State Aid before you can complete your program of study. If this occurs you will not be allowed to receive additional State/Federal Student Financial Aid Funds.
