Review Process
At the beginning of your academic career at MGA and each subsequent semester the Office of Student Financial Aid will determine whether the student has successfully completed the minimum expected number of hours with the required G.P.A. and shown progression toward their current program of study. This review will include all hours attempted during the students’ attendance period at MGA, as well as transfer hours. SAP status is calculated at the end of each semester after grades are posted to academic history. If after this review a student is not making SAP according to Grade Point Average ( qualitative) or PACE (quantitative) standards, their status will be changed to Warning and they will be allowed to receive financial aid the following term(Note: *Transfer exception below). Continued eligibility will be determined after this term. Students who become ineligible due to PACE- max-time frame component will have their aid suspended and they will not be eligible to receive additional financial aid unless an appeal is submitted and approved.
*Transfer Students- Transfer students are ineligible for financial aid until all required transcripts from prior college attendance have been received and reviewed to determine SAP eligibility status. Transfer students not compliant with MGA’s Standards of Academic Progress at their time of entry will be placed on financial aid suspension. Students may appeal this determination.
Learning Support - Only 30 attempted semester hours of remedial classes can be funded by Title IV. After 30 hours, those credits cannot be counted towards your enrollment status. Most state aid programs will not fund remedial coursework at all.
