MAXIMUM TIME FRAME FOR COURSE COMPLETION All enrolled students must satisfactorily complete their programs of study within a maximum time frame, defined as 150% of the students' scheduled program length, as noted on the enrollment agreement, readmission forms, and/or transfer forms. Any repeated modules will be applied toward the maximum time frame. Additionally, all attempted credits and scheduled attendance up to the student's last date of attendance are computed in the maximum time frame. If at any time it is determined that a student cannot complete the course of study within the 150% time frame, the student may be terminated from the program, If a student is a transfer student, the accepted transfer course work will be counted in the MaxlmumTlme Frame. All transfer credits are included as both attempted and completed credits to calculate Satisfactory Academic Progress.A student's maximum time frame to receive financial aid will also be reduced by the equivalent transfer of credit hours towards thestudent's degree or certificate. ACADEMIC PROBATION POLICY An academic progress evaluation is performed at the end of scheduled each payment period during the students' program. If the student falls below a grade point average of 2.0 (70% or C) at the end of the payment period, the student Is placed on academic warning for the payment period. Students are expected to achieve satisfactory academic progress by the end of the warning payment period. If the student's grade point average is below a 2.0 (70% or C) by the end of the warning period, the student is placed on academic probation for the payment period. Students may not receive financial aid funds while on academic probation. A student can appeal as outlined above under Financial Aid Appeal/Probation. If the student does not earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (70% or C) by the end of the probation period, the student is terminated from the program. If a student is considered unable to complete the program mathematically at any time, the student can be terminated from the program. Depending on the circumstance, a student could be terminated without entering a warning or probation period. Probation status can be removed early if the student achieves the 2.0-grade point average prior to the probationary period's expiration. Students who wish to challenge a decision relative to academic probation may appeal to the School's Appeal Committee. Please see the section under the "Student Appeal Procedures Policy" forfurther information. FINANCIAL AID PARTICIPANTS ONLY: Financial aid loans are disbursed for regular 1st -time students after 30 days of enrollment, at the midpoint of the academic year, andafter earning academic year credits. Financial Aid warning: Failure to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress will result in the implementation of the Financial Aid Warning. A student will be placed on Financial Aid Warning for the next Payment Period. The student can still receive Title IV aid (loans and Pell) during the Warning period. The student's progress will be assessed at the end of the Warning Period's scheduled payment period. If the studentdoes not meet the SAP standards at the end of the payment period, the student is ineligible to receive any additional financial aid. Financial Aid Appeal/Probation: If a student is denied financial aid due to failure to meet SAP in a subsequent payment period after notification of financial aid warning, a student can appeal by submitting a written request, describing the extenuating circumstances that prevented him/her from meeting SAP standards. An appeal can only be approved if the student can complete all standard requirements by the end of an additional payment period. A student will be notified via email or letter on the approval/denial within three school days after submitting a completed appeal form. If a student's appeal is approved, the student will be given an academic plan and is placed on financial aid probation. The student's financial aid is reestablished by complying with the institution's SAP policy standards during the probation period. A review of the student's progress is completed at the end of the payment period to determine if the student is meeting the academic plan's requirements. If the student meets the academic plan requirements, the student is eligible to receiveTitle IV aid as long as the student continues to meet those requirements according to the academic plan's requirements. Limit on Reinstatement Appeals: Financial Aid Students who have become disqualified due to lack of satisfactory progress may only have one appeal consideration. Any second and subsequent requests for extended probation of aid eligibility will be denied except in the possible case where there are documented, extenuating circumstances presented. 27 1 Page In111C 1 ua t r'al!c_cs School Uil ulo3
