Special Considerations
Transfer Students. The accepted transfer credits a student earns prior to the time of acceptance will count toward both attempted and completed credits. The GPA from transfer credit is not considered in terms of this policy.
First-Time Aid Recipients. When a student first applies for financial aid, the student’s entire period of attendance—even periods during which the student may not have received financial aid—is evaluated in terms of the SAP policy. A student who has not maintained satisfactory academic progress will not be eligible for aid until the student makes up for the deficiency.
Dropping Courses. Financial aid awards are based on credits for which a student is registered on the 10th day of the quarter. Courses dropped before the 10th day of the quarter are not counted in the SAP review.
(Dropping a course before the 10th day may affect the current financial aid award.)
Dropping a course after the 10th day does not affect financial aid for the current quarter, however it may impact aid the subsequent quarter. SAP reviews are conducted at the end of each quarter, and any financial aid a student is awarded for future quarters is not valid until the student has passed the quarterly review.
Co-op/Experiential Courses. Student enrolled in off-campus programs for which credit does not apply toward a degree are regarded in terms of the policy as though they did not enroll.
Repeated Course. A repeated course is counted toward attempted credits each time the course is taken, but is counted toward completed credits only once.
Incompletes. An incomplete is counted toward attempted credits the quarter in which it was received. An incomplete/C or higher is counted in completed credits for the quarter in which the student registers for the course.
In-progress Courses. An in-progress course is counted toward attempted and completed credits during the quarter in which the student registers for it.
Audited Courses. Audited courses are not counted toward attempted or completed courses.
