Satisfactory Academic Progress
所有本科生和研究生必须满足SAP要求,才能获得雪兰多大学的联邦和机构财政援助. 联邦法规要求每所学院或大学都有学术进步政策, which establishes the minimum standards of eligibility for financial aid. (注:一些外部奖学金或私人贷款机构也可能遵循联邦SAP准则. Please check with your lender or scholarship originator for their terms and conditions.)
Satisfactory Academic Progress is measured by:
- Cumulative grade point average or GPA.
- Cumulative number of credits attempted compared to credits earned, often referred to as pace of progress. 与已修学分相比,学生必须以67%的学分获得学位.
- Total number of credits attempted overall (maximum time). 学生一旦达到其特定课程所允许的学分的150%,就没有资格获得资助. 这包括特定学术水平(本科或研究生)的所有课程。, even if the student is no longer pursuing that degree.
Please note that students who have not received financial aid in previous years, 但首次申请经济资助的学生,亦须符合保持良好学业进度的要求. 无论学生在一个学期内是否有资格获得援助,学生入学的所有学期都会对其学业进展进行审查.
If students are not meeting the requirements as outlined above, 该学生将被考虑暂停经济援助,必须提出上诉并获得批准才能重新获得经济援助资格. To appeal, please follow the instructions below under Appeal Procedures.
Students pursuing undergraduate programs, must adhere to the GPA requirements outlined below, earn 67% of the cumulative credits they have attempted, 所修学分不得超过已公布课程长度的150%. Withdrawn courses will be counted in this calculation:
Credit Hours Attempted | Minimum Cumulative GPA |
---|---|
1.00 – 23.99 | 1.6 |
24.00-53.99 | 1.8 |
54.00 and above | 2.0 |
Additionally, even if a student does not progress in their anticipated full-time credit load, students must have a minimum GPA of 2.0 at the end of their second year or fourth semester.
攻读研究生课程的学生必须遵守课程中列出的GPA, earn 67% of the cumulative credits they have attempted, 所修学分不得超过已公布课程长度的150%. Withdrawn courses will be counted in this calculation.
Repeating Courses
在一门课程中获得及格成绩的学生只能再修一次,以获得第四章的资助, where a “D” is considered a passing grade. Once they have earned two grades of “D” or above, 任何后续注册的课程都没有资格获得第四章援助,并且将被排除在R2T4计算之外. Withdrawals, drops, 或在全球最大的博彩平台就读期间的失败将不计入第四章资格, however, may count for pace calculations.
At Shenandoah University there are some courses that share the same name, 但不是同一门课程,并且需要在同一学位中多次完成学位. These courses are evaluated based on the number of instances per required completion, not on the total number of attempts overall.
Pass or Fail Courses
如果课程有学分负担,那么被评为及格/不及格的课程也会被包括在进度和GPA的计算中.
Transfer Credits
Transfer credits will count towards both courses attempted and completed for pace, but will not be considered for GPA calculations.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Review
财政援助办公室将在每学期结束时审查每个学生的SAP状态. Email notifications of SAP standards will be sent to the student’s SU email account. 不符合SAP要求的学生将被给予经济援助警告或停学. Students on Financial Aid Suspension may appeal the suspension. If the appeal is approved the student will be placed on Financial Aid Probation.
Students who are not meeting SAP at the end of a semester will be placed on a one-time warning status. While no further action is required from the students, 强烈建议学生与顾问见面,以确保他们的课程负荷是适当的,并且所修的任何课程都将适用于学生的学位. Following the one semester warning, 任何未满足SAP要求的学生将自动被暂停经济援助.
警告学期结束后未达到SAP标准的学生将被暂停经济援助. Students have the option to appeal this suspension. 上诉必须基于严重影响学习成绩的重大减轻情节.
Some examples of mitigating circumstances include: death in the family, disabling illness or injury, emotional or mental health issues, and other special circumstances beyond the student’s control such as divorce, natural disaster, extreme change in financial or legal circumstances, etc.
财政援助暂停并不禁止学生继续他或她在全球最大的博彩平台的教育, 但它确实禁止学生获得机构或联邦财政援助,直到他们的信誉良好.
请注意:在没有经济资助的情况下支付课程费用或一学期不上课都不会恢复令人满意的学业进步, so neither is sufficient to reestablish eligibility for financial aid.
申请成功的学生将恢复一个学期的助学金. Students will be notified of the conditions of their probationary period. Following the probationary semester, 财政援助办公室将审查学生的记录,以确定未来的资格.
If a student will require more than one semester to return to good standing, they may be required to submit an academic plan.
如果学生和他们的学术顾问需要制定一个学术计划, it will be monitored each semester. If the student fails to meet the conditions of the plan, 他们将不再有资格获得援助,直到他们重新建立自己的资格.
被暂停经济援助或上诉被拒绝的学生可以通过达到令人满意的学术标准来重新获得经济援助的资格. This will be at the student’s own expense, as they are ineligible for federal and institutional financial aid. Sitting out one semester will not accomplish this. 取得规定GPA或修满规定学分的学生, 应该向财政援助办公室提出申诉以恢复他们的财政援助吗.
