Satisfactory Academic Progress/Academic Standing
All students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 each semester. Failure to do so will result in a written academic warning issued by the appropriate Program Director. Students who receive a written academic warning must regain a cumulative 3.0 GPA within the following semester or they will be subject to termination and loss of federal student loan eligibility and any aid from MGH Institute of Health Professions.
If a student is not able to regain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 and appeals the denial of financial aid, the Financial Aid Director and the Program Director will jointly determine on a case-by-case basis the student's eligibility for institutional and federal financial aid during any extended probationary period. In addition to the GPA, the student must meet all degree requirements by the time he or she has earned one and one-half times the credits required by the program for degree completion. The Financial Aid Director and Program Director will jointly review cumulative credits and determine, on a case-by-case basis, whether the student is eligible for institutional and/or federal financial aid after the completion of one-and-one-half times the credits required for the program.
