Review Process
At the end of your first term at MGA and each subsequent semester, the Office of Financial Aid will determine whether the student has successfully completed the minimum expected number of hours with the required GPA 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. Continued eligibility will be determined after this term. Students who become ineligible due to Maximum-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 will have their status calculated at the end of their first term of attendance and each term thereafter. All hours accepted as credit will be counted in this attempt. The GPA calculation is also cumulative.
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 a student’s enrollment status. Most state aid programs will not fund remedial coursework.
