A REMINDER TO ALL STUDENTS RECEIVING FINANCIAL AID
Any student receiving
financial aid must maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP) in
order to sustain eligibility for receiving assistance. Federal
regulations state that every student must pass a minimum of 67% of all
courses attempted. You must also maintain a grade point average
(GPA) of 2.0 or above.
In addition, students are expected to complete their program of study
in a reasonable amount of time. Federal regulations allow
students to continue receiving financial aid up to 150% of the expected
credit hours required to complete their program. If a student
exceeds this limit, they are no longer eligible to receive federal
financial aid.
