Review Process
At the BEGINNING 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. 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. If at the end of their first term students do not meet policy, their aid will be suspended. Student does have the option to appeal to have aid reinstated. 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 entry 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. If the students are not meeting the policy, students will be placed on financial aid Warning. If at the end of their first term students do not meet policy, their aid will be suspended. Student does have the option to appeal to have aid reinstated.
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.
