Federal regulations require students receiving Title IV aid (including Federal Pell Grants, FSEOG, Federal Work-Study, Direct Subsidized Loans, Direct Unsubsidized Loans, and Direct Parent PLUS Loans) to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Additionally, some State, institutional, or private grants/scholarships may also require a student meet these standards to remain eligible.

All students are evaluated at the end of each term to determine if the student is meeting both the quantitative and qualitative requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). This calculation will determine the students Title IV eligibility for the next term.

A student is considered to be maintaining SAP if they meet all of the following criteria:

Qualitative Requirements (Grade Point Average-GPA)

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):

Credit Hours Attempted	Required Minimum CGPA
1-30 hours	1.75
31+ hours	2.0

 

Courses that have been excluded through Academic Clemency or repeated course work are not included in the CGPA requirement.

Quantitative Requirements (Pace & Maximum Hours)

Pace

Credit Hours Attempted	Required Minimum PACE
1-30 hours	50.00%
31+ hours	66.67%

 

Course grades of F, W, WC are not considered to be successfully completed.  

• Maximum credit hours: Students may receive federal financial aid until they have reached 150% of the published credit hour length of their declared program. For example, 150 percent of a 60-credit hour AA degree is 90 credit hours (150% x 60 hours = 90 credit hours). Maximum hours apply whether or not the student was receiving financial aid at the time credits were being attempted. Any student who transfers or changes majors must adhere to the maximum hour standards.

All courses that appear on the 蘑菇视频 transcript, including transfer hours, will be included in both of the quantitative requirements. Courses that have been excluded through Academic Clemency or repeated course work are included as attempted hours for this calculation.

Considerations

Repeated Course Work: Federal student aid may only pay for one repeat of a previously passed course. A 鈥淒鈥� or better is considered passing.

Attendance: Students must attend all classes as required in each instructor's syllabus. Students who are reported as not attending may be administratively withdrawn from classes.

Regaining Eligibility

• Appeal: Students who lost eligibility due to documented extenuating circumstances may file an appeal for review. Forms are available by request from the enrollment services desk or at the 蘑菇视频 Forms page.

Examples of appealable circumstances include serious injury/illness, death or serious illness of an immediate family member, and/or significant trauma which impaired physical or mental well-being.

Examples of required documentation include physician鈥檚/therapist鈥檚/counselor鈥檚 statement, death certificate/obituary, court documents, and/or attorney鈥檚 statement.

Students must provide a completed degree planner, transcript, and documentation with their completed SAP Appeal form. *Students appealing for 鈥渕ax hours only鈥� may be eligible to appeal without supporting documentation.

蘑菇视频 allows a life time maximum of 3 SAP appeals per student unless otherwise approved by the Director of 蘑菇视频.

SAP issues that occur due to high school concurrent courses may be given special consideration. If the appeal is approved, aid will be reinstated for the requested term. If the appeal is denied, students may regain eligibility by self-paying to increase completion rate and/or CPGA.

 Appeal requests deadlines (end of day):

• Fall Semester 鈥� August 10
• Spring Semester 鈥� January 4

Summer Semester 鈥� Appeals for summer are not allowed

Once submitted, the Director of 蘑菇视频 will review the documents and decide if the appeal can be approved as is or if the student needs to meet with the SAP Appeal Committee. All students will be notified of the results via their 蘑菇视频 email. If the student was notified of their failing SAP status after the deadline, financial aid will accept the appeal through the census date. (Usually, the 11^th class day for fall/spring and the 4^th class day for summer.)

• Self-pay: Students without an approved SAP appeal may self-pay for classes to regain their eligibility by meeting the requirements as stated in the SAP policy. Denied students who have self-paid and successfully completed 6 credit hours may reapply.

SAP Status

Meeting SAP: Students who are meeting all requirements of the SAP policy as described above.

SAP Probation: Students who are approved on appeal will be put on SAP probation and re-evaluated each term to determine if the appeal can be carried forward. Students who change degree plans or receive an F or W grade will have to reappeal.

SAP Suspension: Students who are not meeting the requirements of the SAP policy and have not been approved on a SAP appeal will be put on SAP suspension making them ineligible for Title IV aid.
