AUDITS Classes taken for audit are not considered in SAP calculations. REPEATED COURSEWORIZ You may receive financial aid for repeating courses. If you retake a previously passed course, financial aid can be used for only ONE repeat of the course. A failed course may be repeated TWICE. Courses that are repeated are used in the calculation of your SAP eligibility. REVIEW OF SAP STATUS SAP status is reviewed at the end of each quarter/semester. Based on the review, you will have one of three financial aid classifications: 1. Eligible: you met the requirements of SAP and are eligible for financial aid in the current quarter/semester. 2. Financial Aid Warning: You did not meet the requirements of SAP based on your qualitiative and/or quantitative performance last quarter. You will be placed on Financial Aid Warning for the current quarter. During this quarter you continue to be eligible for financial aid including loans, federal, and state grants. You are encouraged to seek tutoring or other support services for assistance in achieve SAP. If at the end of the current quarter you meet SAP, the Financial Aid Warning status will be removed, and you will then be considered eligible. 3. Financial Aid Probation: You did not meet the requirements of SAP at the end of you Financial Aid Warning quarter. You are ineligible for financial aid at Advanced College. You must submit a Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal Form. This form is in the Financial Aid Department at your campus. The Financial Aid Department requests all statements to be typed explaining the extenuating circumstances that occurred which prevented you from successfully completing all of your classes and what has since changed that will allow for you to success with your classes in the future. 4. Financial Aid Eligible: You did not meet the requirements of SAP at the end of you Financial Aid Warning quarter. You are ineligible for financial aid at Advanced College until SAP has been reestablished. Example: In fall quarter a new student attempted 12 credit hours and successfully completed 4 credit hours with a CGPA of 2.0 (undergraduate). The student meets the required CGPA but has not completed the required 2/3 of credit hours attempted (4 divided by 12 = 0.333 or 33.33%). Therefore, the student will be on Financial Aid Warning status for the winter quarter. In the winter quarter the student is enrolled in 12 credit hours. The total number of credit hours attempted is 24 (12 from fall and 12 from winter). The minimum number of credits the student must successfully complete is calculated by taking the 24 attempted credits X 2/3 (66.67%) = 16 credits. Since the student earned 4 credits in fall, the student must successfully complete all 12 credits in winter and have a CGPA of 2.0 or better (undergraduate), in the winter quarter in order to remain eligible for financial aid. If a student has not corrected all the deficiencies in SAP after a quarter of Financial Aid Warning, or if the student has reached the maximum timeframe, the student becomes ineligible for financial aid. Example: The same student as described above completes only 8 credit hours in the winter quarter. Since the student needed to complete at least 12 credit hours to correct the deficiency in SAP, the student is no longer eligible for financial aid. REINSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL AID If you are ineligible for financial aid for not meeting SAP, you can reestablish eligibility by fulfilling one of the following conditions: 1. Eliminate all academic deficiencies by completing the number of credit hours necessary to meet 2/3 (66.67%) pace and/or complete enough credit hours to achieve the minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA (undergraduate) at your own expense. 2. Successfully appeal your ineligible status by demonstrating unforeseen, documentable extenuating circumstances. APPEALS A student with unforeseen, documentable extenuating circumstances who has been denied financial aid due to SAP status may appeal in writing completing the SAP Appeal Form, available in the Financial Aid Office at the respective campus location. The student must submit information and documentation explaining why the SAP standards were not met and what has changed that will allow him/her to meet SAP in the future. The appeal form and all required supporting documentation must be submitted to the Director of Financial Aid by Friday of the first week of the quarter. Appeals will be reviewed by the Campus Director. Only those appeals that include the aforementioned documentation will be considered. Examples of circumstances for an appeal that will be considered include unexpected injury or illness of the student, death of a close family member, or other unforeseen extenuating circumstances.
