Maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress
All students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 each semester.
Failure to do so will place the student on academic probation for the following semester as approved by the Dean/Chair/Program Director. Students who are placed on probation must regain a cumulative 3.0 GPA within the following semester or they will be subject to academic dismissal and loss of federal student loan eligibility and any aid from the 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.
