Review Process
Review Process
At the end of the first enrolled semester, the Office of Financial Aid will determine whether the student has successfully satisfied the SAP requirements. Transfer students will have their status calculated at the entry of their first term of attendance and each term thereafter. This review will include all hours attempted during the student’s attendance period at MGA, as well as transfer hours accepted as credit. If after this review a student is not making SAP according to qualitative or quantitative standards, their status will be changed to Warning. If a student is not meeting the SAP policy at the end of the first warning term, their aid will be suspended. Students 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 to MGA will be included in the calculation for all components of Satisfactory Academic Progress. If the transfer student is not meeting SAP at the end of their first term, their aid will be suspended. Students do have the option to appeal their status to have their 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.
