How does withdrawing or failing class(es) affect my financial aid?
Federal and State regulations require that students receiving financial aid maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP). 1. A student must complete at least 67% of the total cumulative credit hours attempted (e.g., 60 attempted credit hours, student must complete at least 39). Therefore, withdrawals, failing grades, and incompletes will count against you. 2. A student must maintain a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA. 3. A student may receive aid for up to 150% of the hours it takes to complete the curriculum (e.g., Associate in Arts requires 65 semester hours for graduation. A student may take 97.50 semester hours before aid is suspended. 150% multiplied by 65 semester hours = 97.50 hours).
