Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

Progress Eligibility: In addition to maintaining academic standards, all students receiving federal financial aid will be required to satisfactorily complete (receive grades other than D+, D, D-, F, AU, CH, IC, IW, S, or W) a specified number of credits within their program of study per semester based on the number of credits enrolled during that semester.  For the purpose of financial aid, credit hour completion is classified according to the following schedule.

Financial Aid Disqualification:    Failure to comply with the academic standards or the progress eligibility standards will result in ineligibility for student aid.

Reinstatement:  Students disqualified from Financial Aid eligibility may regain eligibility by: (1) Attending an additional semester without the assistance of Financial Aid and; (2) Retake the failed or incomplete credits (See Financial Aid Progress eligibility chart) required to meet satisfactory academic progress (SAP).  Courses retaken must be from the approved list of required courses from the student’s program of study.  The student must also meet academic standards as well as financial aid standards to be reinstated.  After meeting requirements students must submit a Financial Aid General Appeal to the Financial Aid Office explaining that they have completed requirements and would like to be reinstated for Financial Aid.

Withdrawal Policy

All other Federal Financial Aid recipients will have refunds calculated according to state or US Department of Education approved accrediting agency refund policies if they exist.  If no state or US Department of Education approved accrediting agency refund policy exists, refunds will be calculated according to Federal or institutional refund guidelines in order to determine the largest refund to the Federal Student financial Aid Programs or to the student.

For the official withdrawal policy, see the catalog.  If a student contacts the financial aid office to withdraw, they will be referred to the Registrar.  The financial aid office will document the conversation and will initiate a notice of withdrawal.  Students who withdraw from one or more classes within the first week of school must notify the Financial Aid Office and return over-awarded funds at the time of the withdrawal.  No adjustments to financial aid will be made after the first week of each semester.  Students who totally withdraw from their classes after the first week of each semester are subject to the return policy of the federal government and may be required to return a portion of their awards.  Students who receive financial award disbursements and do not attend classes are not eligible for funds and must return to the institution any award money received.
