SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS SUMMARY

You need to "make progress toward your degree" to keep receiving ALL financial aid.  This includes loans and work study.

Your academic progress is "satisfactory" if you:

  • Maintain a 2.00 Cumulative & Semester GPA.

  • Complete 75% of all your credits ("F's" do not count  as a course completed).

  • Complete 24 credits a year (full-time).

  • Graduate within 5 years/150 credits attempted.

We check progress after each 16 week Semester.

Scholarships usually have higher requirements than listed above.

"Incompletes" and "withdrawals" count against you.

Complete "Satisfactory Academic Process" policy.
