2
Student Eligibility
Maintains satisfactory progress in his/her course of study according to school’s published standards
• 668.32(f)• 668.34
3
Administrative Capability
Establishes, publishes, and applies reasonable standards for measuring if a student is maintaining satisfactory progress in his/her educational program
668.16(e)
4
Consumer Information• Publish and make readily
available to current and prospective studentsstandards for making satisfactory progress
criteria for reestablishing eligibility if SAP is violated
• 668.42(c)(2)
7
SAP StandardsMust be same as or stricter thanstandards for non-Title IV students in same educational program
Are you using your school’s academic standards or standards specifically for Title IV?
9
Qualitative Standard
To assess quality of academic work• Use standards measurable against
a norm grades, work projects
• May use fixed or graduated standard
10
Fixed Standard Example
A student must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 after two terms of enrollment, and subsequently, each academic year.
11
Graduated Standard Example
Grade Point Average Requirements
1 to 30 credits = 1.6
31 to 60 credits = 1.8
61 to graduation = 2.0
12
Academic Programs Longer Than Two Years
• By the end of the second academic year, student must have:a “C” average or its equivalentORacademic standing consistent with
graduation requirements• Years measured in time, not grade
level
13
Mitigating Circumstances Regarding “C” After Two Years
These standards may be set aside if certain circumstances affect progress death of a relative injury or illness of student other special circumstances
15
Maximum Time Frame• Undergraduates may receive aid for
a maximum of 150% of the published length of the educational programcumulative, including periods
without Title IV assistance
16
Graduate Max TimeSchool must develop a writtenpolicy establishing a maximum time frame in which a graduatestudent must complete the program.
18
Academic YearsDegree program takes 4 years to complete 4 X 150% = 6 years is maximum time
frame 4 X 125% = 5 years is maximum time
frame
19
Credit Hours AttemptedDegree program requires 120credits for completion 120 X 150% = 180 attempted credits
is maximum time frame
21
Clock Hour Max TimeMust use calendar time 900 clock hour program takes 8
months to complete 8 X 150% = 12 months is
maximum time frame
23
Maximum Time Frame
• Must be divided into equal evaluation periodsEvaluation periods cannot
exceed the lesser of one half of the program or one academic year
25
Clock Hour Program Example
8 months/900 clock hoursprogram is one year in lengthone half of the program = 4 month evaluation periods
26
Credit Hour Non-Term Program Example
6 months/24 quarter creditsprogram is less than one yearone half of the program = 3 month evaluation periods
28
Credit Hour Term Degree Program
• Must evaluate progress at least once academic year
• May evaluate progress at end of each term
30
Student Must Complete Within Maximum Time Frame
Your policy may require a fixed amount of work that must
be completed in each evaluation period
a percentage of work that must be completed in each evaluation period
31
Credit Hour - 6 Year Max TimeStudent must complete 1/6 ofthe work required for the degreeeach year
degree requires 120 credits1/6 = .1666620 credits per year required to
finish within 6 years
32
Credit Hour - Attempted Credits
120 credits / 180 credits = 67% Student must earn 67% of credit
hours attempted
33
Clock Hour Program - 12 Month Max Time
4 months / 12 months = 34%34% X 900 = 306 clock hours306 clock hours in 4 month period
34
Course RepeatsHow do these affect progress?? Qualitative - average grades, count
both grades, or count the higher grade
Quantitative - included in maximum time frame
May only count toward enrollment status if receiving credit
36
Transfer Students• May make initial disbursement • If no credits transferred in, then SAP
evaluated solely on work at current school
• If received transfer credits, those must be included when determining progress toward maximum time frame
37
Probation/Warning• Optional• How long?• What stipulations must student
meet?• Notification process
38
Major/Degree ChangesHow will you deal with maximum timeframe?
Take credits earned and apply toward max time
Student eligible for aid for 150% of remaining required credits
Does it require an appeal?
39
Appeal Policy• Specific procedures for student to
appeal if not making satisfactory progress
• Who will decide appeals?
40
How To Re-establish Eligibility
What happens once a student fails to meet the standards? No appeal or disapproved appeal
41
Disbursement Of Funds
Make certain that student meets satisfactory academic progress standards as of last time your policy required evaluation.
