|
Attempted
credits
|
The grades
of A, B, C, D (+ or -) F, P, I, W, NR and
credits by exam are considered credits attempted. Attempted credits are calculated based upon
the grading period and after which time a grade is posted.
|
|
Audited
courses
|
Audited
courses are not funded by financial aid and not considered under any aspect
of the SAP Policy unless a student changes their course to Audit after the
100% adjustment to tuition and fee period.
This would affect Pace and Maximum Time Frame.
|
|
Consortium
agreements (agreements with another college/university to pay for courses at
that institution)
|
Credit(s)
obtained at other institutions that are part of a consortium agreement are
counted in the Pace and Maximum Time Frame components.
|
|
Credits
completed
|
The
successful completion of a credit attempted is credit for which a grade of A,
B, C, D (+ or -), or P is received and credits by exam. Do not include grades of F, I or W. The grade of D for a Graduate student is
not considered successful completion of the credit(s) attempted.
|
|
Dropping a
class
|
A dropped
class receiving a W grade affects the Pace and Maximum Time Frame components
of SAP but is not included in the cumulative GPA.
|
|
Financial
Aid Probation Status
|
This
occurs when a student successfully appeals SAP suspension. At the end of the approved SAP appeal
probation period, the student undergoes re-evaluation of their academic
progress to see if they have met SAP standards so they may remain eligible
for financial aid.
|
|
Financial
Aid Suspension Status
|
This
occurs in the term following a SAP warning or SAP probation when a student
fails to meet SAP requirements as previously warned. Financial aid eligibility is on hold
pending a successful SAP appeal.
|
|
Financial
Aid Warning Status
|
This occurs
at the end of the first term that the student does not meet SAP. A communication warns them that failure to
correct the lack of SAP (either GPA or 67% rule) or Maximum Time Frame (150%
rule) will result in the loss of financial aid eligibility at the start of
the following term.
|
|
Incompletes
|
An
incomplete counts as credit(s) attempted and credit(s) not earned until a
passing grade is posted. Incompletes
affect the Pace and Maximum Time Frame Components. Once a letter grade (A, B, C, D, and F) is assigned, it will be factored into the GPA determination the next time SAP is calculated.
|
|
Remedial
courses
|
Remedial
credits are counted in Pace and Maximum Time Frame. A grade of F is calculated into GPA. All remedial credits are counted toward enrollment status.
|
|
Repeated
credits
|
Repeated credit(s) count as attempted
credit(s) as many times as the course is repeated. Repeating credits apply to GPA, Pace, and
Maximum Time Frame components. A student can only repeat courses where the previous grade received does not lead to progression
within their program.
|
|
Withdrawals
from the university (all classes)
|
Official and unofficial withdrawals will impact the Pace and Maximum Time Frame components. Withdrawals (W): Courses dropped after the add/drop period for which the student receives a "W" grade is not included in the cumulative GPA. If you failed to officially withdraw from your course(s), the "F" grade received is included in the cumulative GPA.
|
|
Changes in Major/Double
major/Second Degree
|
All attempted and completed credits are counted in both the Pace and Maximum Time Frame components. Students who change majors are at risk of exceeding Maximum Time Frame before obtaining a degree. Students
pursuing 1st and 2nd major simultaneously will only be
allowed 150% of the credits needed towards their first major. Students pursuing a second degree are held to the undergraduate Maximum Time Frame (150% Rule). These situations could result in needing to appeal
Maximum Time Frame.

|
Coursework
taken for Winterim will be evaluated for SAP with the Spring term.
