Satisfactory Academic Progress Evaluation Procedure

Evaluation is conducted in the summer of each academic year. Satisfactory Academic Progress evaluations must take into consideration ALL periods of enrollment, including enrollment at another institution and periods in which the student did not receive financial aid.

 

Students who do not meet the criteria at the end of an academic year will be given a warning (probationary) year to make up deficits. During the warning year, students are strongly encouraged to participate in the Student Academic Success Program (SASP).

 

 Students who fail to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress standards after the warning year are not eligible for federal aid until such time as they meet the standards.

 

Students who fail to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress standards will be notified in writing.  Information on the appeals process will be included in the notification.

 

Evaluation for the Time Frame criteria will be conducted during both summer evaluations and at the end of the Drop/Add period during each major semester. During the evaluation at the end of the Drop/Add period, the attempted hours for the current semester will be included in the cumulative attempted hours. Students will be notified if they are not eligible to receive funds in future terms or warned if they are approaching the time frame limits.
