Academic Circumstances that Affect Status

• Failing grades, withdrawals and incompletes all reduce your completion ratio as well as counting against maximum hours.
• Repeated courses count as attempted hours each time you register for them. Also, each course is counted in your financial aid GPA requirement.
• Academic renewal hours count toward all components of the SAP policy.
• Students who are suspended academically or choose not to attend because of SAP Suspension will not be automatically eligible for financial aid upon their return. Absence does not restore eligibility for financial aid. It remains the responsibility of the student to be knowledgeable of their SAP standard when returning to school after dismissal or choosing not to return because of SAP Suspension.
• Grade changes require students to submit a written request to have SAP recalculated after confirmation has been received that grade change has been posted to academic history.
• Summer Term Courses – all hours attempted and completed in the summer term are treated as any other semester hours in determining SAP status. SAP will be checked following the summer term as well.
• Audit Courses – students are not eligible to receive financial aid for audit courses. Audited courses are not included in hours attempted or earned for SAP determination.
