学术进步标准(SAP)

中央社区学院 is required to establish minimum academic standards that students must meet to maintain eligibility for federal, 状态, 以及机构援助, 包括但不限于赠款, 联邦工作研究, 学生贷款, 以及机构奖学金. We are required to monitor the progress of all students receiving financial aid to ensure continued compliance with the policy. 

衡量以下组成部分以确定学生是否符合SAP标准:累积GPA, 进度要求(完成的百分比), 及最长时限. 

平均绩点

学生的累积GPA必须保持在2分以上.0.

速度要求

学生必须保持67%或更高的完成率.

This component of the SAP policy is measuring the pace at which a student must progress through his or her program of study to ensure completion within the maximum time frame permitted and provides for a measurement of the student’s progress at the end of each semester. Pace is calculated by determining the cumulative number of credit hours the student has successfully completed divided by the number of cumulative credit hours the student has attempted. Attempted credits include any course taken for credit while attending CCC except for foundations coursework and certain certificate options. 从其他机构转来的学分包括在已修学分和已修学分中. (以便贴现任何转移学分, a degree audit would need to be provided to the financial aid office from the student’s advisor indicating how many transfer credits are being used toward the current program of study.成功修满的学分包括A到D-之间的所有学分. 不计入成功完成的学分包括F(不及格)或I(不完整)的字母成绩。, D (drop)或W (Withdrawal). Title IV funds can pay for repeat coursework previously taken in a program as long as it is not a result of more than one repetition of a previously passed course.  A student becomes ineligible when it becomes mathematically impossible to complete his/her program within 150% of the length of the program.

最大时间框架(项目完成率)

学生应在合理的时间内完成学业. A student’s MTF is based on total credit hours attempted at CCC plus any transfer credits accepted towards their program of study. These limits must apply regardless of whether the student received federal funding for all or any of the credits attempted.

学生有资格获得资助,最多可获得某一学习计划公布学时数的150%. 例子:如果一个学习项目需要64个学分才能毕业, 学生可以获得的最高学分限额为96 (64 x 150%)。. 所有尝试的学分都计入MTF, except for foundations coursework and short-term certificate options including but not limited to LPN Certification (LPN-C) and Truck Driving.

每学期结束的时候, the total number of attempted credit hours will be counted to see if the student has reached the maximum number of credit hours for a program. 这包括在没有收到资助的学期中尝试的学分, 在更改学习计划之前尝试的学分, 以及从其他机构转移到学习项目的学分. 换专业的学生应该联系经济援助办公室,了解这对他们的MTF有何影响. 也, 学生接近或已达到最高时限,有权提出上诉,要求延期. 

状态说明

财政援助警告: Financial 援助 Warning status is assigned to a student who fails to meet one or more of the SAP measures indicated above at the conclusion of a payment period. 在警告学期期间,学生仍然可以获得经济援助. 学生未来的经济援助资格取决于学生在警告期内的表现. 如果学生完成警告学期,现在累积GPA为2分.0或以上,整体完成率67%或以上, 该学生将被取消经济援助警告资格,并恢复良好的信誉. If, 然而, 学生再次不符合其中一项或两项要求, 该学生将被暂停经济资助.

*请注意: 经济援助警告期不适用于在一个学期内不及格或100%退课的学生. 在100%未完成的情况下,学生将直接被暂停经济资助. 

悬架: A student will be placed on financial aid suspension if he/she fails to meet the academic standards of progress requirements at the end of a warning semester. 这意味着失去获得资助的资格, 联邦工作研究, 学生贷款, 以及机构奖学金. 学生 who do not successfully complete any coursework in a term are automatically placed on suspension unless their overall completion rate at CCC still meets the 67% requirement and their cumulative GPA meets or exceeds 2.0. 

重新获得资格

A student may qualify for rein状态ment of financial aid eligibility by enrolling in coursework at his/her own expense and bringing their cumulative GPA at or above 2.0 and by bringing their pace requirement up to 67% to meet the minimum requirements of the satisfactory academic progress policy.

上诉: 如果有情有可原的情况(如家庭成员死亡),学生可以对暂停资助提出上诉, 学生受伤或生病, (或其他特殊情况). 上诉表格可在任何CCC财政援助办公室获得,并且必须包括情况的支持文件. 在申诉请求中,学生必须提供有关他/她未能满足SAP要求的原因的信息, and what has changed in the student’s situation that would allow them to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress at the next evaluation. 如果学生的上诉被批准,他或她将被置于经济援助试用期. 试用期的学生可以获得一个付款期的资助. 在这一点上, the student must meet CCC’s standards of academic progress or the requirements of an academic plan that was established on an individual student basis because of the appeal process. 被拒绝的上诉可以直接提交给学生经济援助服务的地区主任.
