Satisfactory Academic Progress
Federal regulations require a student to move toward the completion of a degree or certificate within an eligible program when receiving financial aid. Federal regulations state that Academic Progress Standards must include a review of all periods of enrollment, regardless of whether or not aid was received. Students will be evaluated using the standards described below. Failure to meet any of these minimum standards will result in loss of federal financial aid eligibility.
Each semester, your academic progress is evaluated. Your academic performance is compared against three measurements. Failure to meet any of these standards will result in the suspension of eligibility for financial aid.
Progress (Course Completion)
You must successfully complete two-thirds (66.7%) of all attempted courses.
Maximum Time Frame (MTF)
You must complete your program without attempting more than 150% of the credits required to complete it.
