Satisfactory Progress Policy

To remain eligible for financial aid at Snow College, a student must make reasonable 取得学位或证书的学业进展.  Satisfactory academic progress 是教育部的一项要求,并由若干因素衡量.

Cumulative Grade Point Average

(Qualitative Measure)

学生必须保持平均绩点(G).P.A.) of 2.00 (C) or better to remain eligible for aid.  在每学期结束时,财政援助办公室将进行评估 通过看成绩来衡量学生的进步. 成绩出来后,我们会写一份报告 for all students.  这样做是为了监督那些没有财务负担的学生 但将来可能有资格获得经济援助.  If during any semester a student’s G.P.A. is less than 2.C)他们将被留用察看.  学生在被停学前将有一学期的试用期.  (If 有一个学期,学生的累计成绩为G.P.A. falls below a 1.00 (D) the Financial Aid Office reserves the right to suspend the student without a probationary period.).

At the end of two years a student should have the cumulative grade point average consistent 符合学院的毕业要求.  That requirement is a “C” or 2.00 grade point average. 平均成绩未达到要求的“C”的学生将被复查 on a case-by-case basis to determine if graduation is possible and if financial aid eligibility should continue.

There is the possibility that some students may be ineligible for aid, based on academic progress, even before they apply. (我们将查看完整的注册历史 establish eligibility regardless if the student has applied for financial aid in the past.  财政援助资金没有学术特赦.)

Pass/Fail Classes:  及格分数将被记为2分.00 (C) GPA(平均成绩).

Repeated Classes:

Students may repeat classes to improve their grades; however, the class will count on their quantitative measure of satisfactory progress as well as count towards their maximum time frame.

Financial Aid will only pay for a repeated class twice if the class received a passing grade.

(Exceptions to the qualitative measure policy will be reviewed based on an appeals 在专业判断的保护下进行的过程.  Students with legitimate appeals 是否可以根据具体情况给予例外.)

Reinstatement:  If a student is suspended for failure to meet the Qualitative Measure of SAP at 学生必须将累积平均绩点提高到最低2分.00/C to be reinstated.

Cumulative Credit Hours

(Quantitative Measure /Pace)

学生应该在他们尝试的课程中获得学分. If a student 未能通过所修课程的学生将被留校察看.  A student has one probationary periods to earn credits that they have been funded for. The Financial Aid Office will evaluate their earned credit hours to determine if they should still continue to be funded. 评估将以最低完成度为基础 每个注册期的70%.

通过一门D级或以上的课程才能获得学分. If a student fails a class, withdraws from a class, is unofficially withdrawn from a class, or is given 一门不完整的课程,将不能获得学分.

(For the quantitative measure the following grades are considered unearned credits: UW unofficial withdrawal, W official withdrawal, I incomplete grade, F failing grade.) (In the case of an incomplete, for financial aid purposes, classes must be completed 在学期中,这笔钱被发放.)

Full time students must complete more than half 他们在任何学期尝试过的学分.  Less than full time students must complete half 他们在任何学期尝试过的学分.  Failure to do so you may result 在没有试用期的情况下被停职.  如果在任何学期注册 a student does not meet the Quantitative Measurement/Pace the student may be suspended 从援助,即使他们目前可能不符合条件.

(Exceptions to the quantitative measures policy will be reviewed based on an appeals 在专业判断的保护下进行的过程.  Students with legitimate appeals 是否可以根据具体情况给予例外.)

Should a student who has received federal funds choose to withdraw from school during the course of a semester a 联邦政府偿还第四章基金 calculation will be made and the withdrawing student may be required to repay a portion 将收到的联邦援助的一部分返还给教育部.

Reinstatement:  If a student is suspended for failure to meet the Qualitative Measure of SAP at student must raise his earned credit hours to a 70 percent completion rate to be reinstated.

Maximum Time Frame

学生只能在有限的时间内获得经济援助.  Eligibility for financial aid is terminated after a student has attended six (6) full-time semesters or earned 95 credit hours.  联邦法律禁止拨款超过150%的时间 它“通常”需要完成副学士学位.  The “normal” time frame to 在PG电子官方免费下载完成副学士学位是两年,四(4)个学期 63 credit hours.

Students fluctuating from one status to another, full-time, three-quarter time, half-time, 是按年平均计算吗.

Remedial Courses

Some student may be required to take remedial coursework to meet the minimum requirements for graduation.  这些补习课程被计算在150% / 95%的尝试数中 hours for the maximum time frame.

Change of Program

Those changing majors or programs may seek additional time to complete required coursework.  PG电子官方免费下载针对这些情况制定了一些规定.

由于PG电子官方免费下载是一所两年制的转学学校,大部分课程都是通识教育 courses or elective courses. 选修课通常是某一专业的先决条件 emphasis or major. 因此,如果一个学生从最初的学习计划改变 进入一个新的学习项目,新项目的最高允许学分将 根据具体情况重新评估. 根据学生的必修课程, a new time frame may be established based on the core classes required under the new program.  新课程的最长时间不应超过学分的150% required for the new program. 这将允许一些课程的重复,以满足成绩 requirements for transfer programs.

Example: Charles is a Pre- Engineering student and has been attending Snow College for 5 semesters.  Charles has completed 16 credit hours each semester and has enrolled in a mix of GE and Elective courses each of those semesters, most of his electives have been in the Pre-engineering core. 查尔斯已经决定他想从商,而且他会 我想获得商科副学士学位.  Since Charles has never taken 在商业领域的任何选修课,他都需要参加核心课程.  Since 查尔斯有80个学时,他几乎用完了他的最大学时.  Charles now 必须完成35个学分的商业核心课程才能获得学位.  We will give Charles up to 44 more credit hours to complete his coursework, or a total of 124 credit hours at Snow College.

Please be aware, changes in Pell Grant legislation only allows an individual 12 full time semesters of Federal Pell Grant. 一旦他们获得了最高补助金,他们将不再 无论你是否获得学位,都有资格获得佩尔奖学金.

实用护理证书课程

The program length will be calculated based on pre-requisites and core classes required 申请护理实践证书. 有些课程可能已经通过 previous attendance.  希望完成注册护理课程的学生 可能需要选修化学、病理生理学和更严格的数学.
