SAP的指导方针

有关SAP上诉表格,请浏览 资助表格 页面.

Federal Regulations require that all postsecondary schools participating in Federal 金融援助 programs establish standards to monitor the level of academic advancement of students. These standards are called Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Students can lose their eligibility for financial aid by failing to maintain SAP. 测量SAP有两个主要组成部分:定性(分数)和定量(学分)测量.

质量标准(职系)

A student should always strive for excellence and achieve the highest grades possible. 然而, 学生必须达到一些最低标准才能有资格获得经济援助. The grade point average (GPA) required for graduation is a 2.0. 在整个注册过程中,与尝试学分和GPA相关的最低标准概述如下:

计量标准(学时)

学生应至少完成66.66%的学分是尝试过的. If their percentage is lower for a given semester, 如果在一个学期(或以后的学期)中完成的学分太少,可能会导致警告。, or if grades earned are too low to allow the student to meet graduation requirements, 学生被确定在学位或合格证书课程方面没有取得令人满意的进展. Credit Hour Completion will be monitored each term and cumulatively. 从其他学院转学的学时将包括在尝试和成功完成的学时计算中. 通过将成功完成的小时数除以尝试完成的小时数来计算完成情况.

完成学分示例

尝试小时数= 12
完成时数= 8 (8/12 = 66).66%完成率)
注:百分比计算到小数点后两位,不允许四舍五入.

SAP规定适用于评估学生是否有资格获得经济援助, including but not limited to the following aid: Federal Title IV Funds (PELL Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), 联邦工作研究(FWS), 联邦直接贷款(次级), 贷款及附加贷款), 以及其他来自国家基金的援助, 奖学金和学生就业. It is the student’s responsibility to understand and adhere to SAP standards to continue receiving all forms of financial aid 在十大网赌网站大全. 学生有责任在每学期结束时了解自己的SAP状态. 财政援助服务将在提交成绩后一周内发送电子邮件通知. 如果你没有收到你的通知,不确定你的状态,你应该十大网赌网站大全的办公室.

确定进度的等级分类

请注意只有学生在一个学期中实际注册的课程才会被用来确定取得的进步.
可接受的成绩: A, b, c, d, s, ct, cw *, ce *, ca *, cs *, cl *, t *
不可接受的成绩: F, I, U, NR, NC, PR, WD, DP, W, AU *Only when a student has actually registered for a course in which this grade is posted to a transcript is the course and grade used in assessing SAP.

Students who withdraw from college after the census date will have their financial aid recalculated for return of Federal Title IV funds and may result in a remaining balance due from the student. 

CT的效果: When a student receives a CT (Continuing) for a course, 假设学生在他/她的教育目标上取得了令人满意的进步. PR Effect: Although a PR is considered as making progress for academic purposes, 这与满足SAP标准和继续获得财政援助资格的情况不同. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the Office of 金融援助 Services 在十大网赌网站大全 once their successful completed grade has been posted to the transcript.

年代效应: Even though an S is considered satisfactory for academic purposes, it is not factored into the student’s grade point average (GPA).

重复的课程: As established in a series of regulations called Program Integrity Rules, 7月1日生效, 2011, students may receive financial aid for repeating courses. 然而, 如果重修以前通过的课程, 经济援助只能用于重修该课程一次,即使第二次尝试的成绩较低. Any courses that are repeated will be used in the student’s SAP calculation. Each repeat will count toward the attempted hours; however, 只有在GPA计算中被计算的课程才会被计算在SAP的完成时数中. Examples of repeated coursework may, or may not, count for financial aid eligibility:

  1. 允许: 如果学生成绩不理想或不及格,重复的课程可以包括在内. 如果学生没有获得及格分数,则允许的尝试次数没有限制.
  2. 允许: 学生注册15个学分,其中包括3个学分,重复以前通过的课程. (Because the student is enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits which are not repeats, the student's financial aid eligibility is not impacted by the r epeat.)
  3. 不允许: Student receives a D in a course and decides to repeat the course to improve their GPA. The student may repeat this passed course one time, but if the student wants to repeat it a second time, the second repeat would not count for financial aid eligibility. 在这个例子中, 该学生注册了12个学分, 包括3学分的第二重修, so only 9 credits will count for financial aid eligibility. All repeated courses do affect financial aid SAP calculations. A repeated course along with the original attempt must be counted as attempted credits.

最长时间范围:

The federal government established regulations that determine the amount of time a student can take college coursework before federal aid eligibility is terminated. The number of terms a student may have actually received federal aid is irrelevant; it is not total terms of financial aid, 它是课程的总学期数,包括从其他机构转来的学分. Students must complete their academic program within 150% of the published length, 以学时表示, 需要毕业. Progress will be assessed each term after grades are posted. 请注意,不属于宣传课程长度的课程将在SAP中计算. 学生按照广告宣传的课程学习以保持获得经济援助的资格是非常重要的. 选择广告课程之外的课程将使学生更快地达到MTF. Students are not eligible for federal assistance for the period in excess of 150% of the academic period normally required to complete the program of study.

MTF的例子

课程学时= 73
最大时间达到109.50小时(73 × 150% = 109.50小时)

一旦学生尝试了他/她的学术课程公布的100%或更多的学时,再一次达到125%, 金融援助 Services will send an email notification to the student as a courtesy apprising that he/she is getting close to exhausting their financial aid eligibility.

Whenever a student reaches their maximum time frame, the student usually becomes ineligible for Title IV Funds. A “maximum time frame” email will be sent as a courtesy informing the student that they have exhausted their financial aid eligibility.

不管情况如何, when a student has matriculated for 180 semester credit hours attempted, he/she becomes ineligible for Title IV Aid programs.

**有些学位/证书是可选择长度的课程,因此学生的资格会相应调整.

请注意根据联邦法规,所有尝试的学分都被考虑到最大时间框架中. 这包括不完整, 撤回, repeated classes and those transferred in from another institution.

助学金警告

A student who has not met SAP standards for credit hours earned or is below the minimum cumulative grade point average for an initial semester will be placed on 助学金警告. 在警告期内, the student continues to be eligible for financial aid, 但必须纠正SAP的缺陷, and is encouraged to utilize student support services for help in doing so (Exceptions: for zero credit hours earned or withdraw see 财政援助Hold below). If a student does not meet SAP standards during the Warning term, the student will be moved to a status of 财政援助Hold for the next semester.

财政援助Hold

财政援助Hold means the student is ineligible for any financial aid, 包括联邦和州政府的援助, 奖学金和学生就业. The student remains ineligible until such time the student earns reinstatement. There are two (2) instances in which a student will be placed on 财政援助Hold:

  1. The student fails to correct the deficiencies in SAP after a term on 助学金警告 (a second term of not meeting minimum SAP standards).
  2. 在任何学期内,学生退学或零学分将立即被列入经济援助名单.

恢复财政援助资格

对于未达到SAP标准的学生,学校不需要有上诉程序. 然而, 在十大网赌网站大全, students can clear their federal aid status and become eligible for financial aid again by meeting the minimum SAP guidelines for grades and credit hours earned or by filing a appeal that is approved based on 情有可原的情况下. 提出上诉并不能保证获得批准. 因此, 学生应该计划其他方法来支付教育费用,直到重新获得财政援助资格.

请注意: Neither paying for classes nor “sitting out” for a length of time, 他们自己, affects a student’s academic progress standing; therefore, neither action is sufficient to regain financial aid eligibility.

A student who is ineligible for financial aid can become eligible for financial aid again by fulfilling one of the following two conditions:

  1. Eliminate all academic deficiencies by completing the number of credit hours lacking and/or complete enough credit hours successfully to achieve the minimum cumulative GPA (as stated in section I above) at the student’s own expense. 一旦学生达到所有最低SAP标准, the student will return to Eligible Status and regain financial aid eligibility; or
  2. Successfully Appeal the ineligible status by demonstrating unforeseen, documentable, 情有可原的情况(i.e.:主要医疗情况, 近亲死亡, 自然灾害, and severe external problems not of the student’s creation). 注意:换专业和选修不符合广告课程长度的课程不会被认为是不可预见的, 情有可原的情况下. 因此, SAP appeals for Maximum Time Frame in these situations may be denied.

a)在开始上诉程序之前与财务援助顾问讨论情况是非常有帮助的. 一个没有预料到的学生, documentable, 情有可原的情况下 who has been denied financial aid may submit a SAP appeal. The appeal form can be obtained on our website at www.霍金.edu/payforcollege/financialaidforms/sapappeal. For each term in which the student did not meet the minimum GPA (as stated in section I above) and/or a completion rate of at least 66.66%, the student must submit information and documentation explaining why the SAP standards were not met and what has changed that will allow the student to meet the SAP standards in the future. The Appeal form and all required supporting documentation must be submitted by the stated deadline for the term for consideration. 在截止日期之后提交的上诉将被审查以供下一学期审议.

b) A Student regaining eligibility through the appeal process will be considered to be on Probation and must submit an Academic Plan established by the Student Academic Coordinator (SAC) which outlines specific requirements to meet in order to regain and/or maintain financial aid eligibility. The student must meet the terms outlined in the Academic Plan. Failure to meet the requirements outlined during the probationary status will result in termination of financial aid and the student may not appeal again regardless of the circumstances.

c)对SAP保留/最长时间框架状态提出上诉的截止日期是在下一学期开始前一周. Specific dates will be identified in the SAP notification email.

d) A student cannot have more than two approved Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeals during his/her entire academic career 在十大网赌网站大全.

其他机构SAP程序

a. Remedial/Developmental 课程: A student enrolled in an eligible program for federal financial aid is permitted to attempt a maximum of 30 semester hours of developmental courses while receiving federal financial aid. The remedial courses will be included in all SAP measurements. 请注意: A student cannot receive aid if taking remedial courses solely in a remedial program because it is not a financial aid eligible program.

b. 课程变更:更改专业的学生更有可能达到SAP目的的最大时间框架. If a student changes his program during his enrollment 在十大网赌网站大全, MTF学时将与新课程相一致,这可能导致学生直接进入MTF状态.

c. Second Degrees: Hocking College’s Office of 金融援助 policy states a student may receive aid for no more than two degrees/certificates. If a student would like to pursue a second degree 在十大网赌网站大全, 他/她必须提交上诉复审. When reviewing SAP for a student pursuing a second degree at HC, MTF学时将以新课程为基础. 正在攻读第二学位的学生很可能达到SAP的最长时间框架. 因此, 如果上诉被批准, the student must complete the second degree within the established credit hours as determined by your academic advisor/department official. Any additional hours outside of what the department has deemed necessary, the student is responsible for payment of those additional hours.

d. 双学位/双专业:一些学生同时获得HC的两个学位或专业. 寻求两个学位/专业可能会使学生达到MTF学时,并更快地进入MTF状态.

  • 双重度: a student is seeking a degree from two different programs at the same time (i.e. 会计及护理).
  • 双专业: a student is seeking two degrees within the same program (i.e. Accounting; Business).在这种情况下, 如果学生的SAP申诉获得批准, he/she will be required to complete the second degree within the established credit hours pre-approved from your academic advisor/department official.

e. 对复古掉落/退出的吸引力:偶尔, 由于情有可原的情况,学生要求补课. 如果上诉获得批准, 对学生班级的调整不会自动改变该学期的SAP状态. The student will have to self-identify that SAP needs recalculated. In some situations, the SAP status may not improve. 此外,如果批准了复古提款,这可能会导致学生到期的余额.
