I. 学业进展满意(SAP) Requirements for Federal and University 金融援助 项目

To be eligible to receive financial assistance under any federal or University scholarship, 格兰特, 贷款, 或者工作计划, students must demonstrate minimum qualitative and quantitative academic measurement standards. The qualitative and quantitative standards used to measure 令人满意的学业进展 are cumulative and encompass all enrollment periods, including periods of enrollment during which the student did not receive federal or University aid.

A. 定性测量

The qualitative measurement standard is expressed as a minimum cumulative grade point average (CUM/GPA), which must be demonstrated prior to each semester of enrollment. The following chart illustrates the minimum CUM/GPA requirement:

B. 定量测定

The quantitative measurement standard has two concepts: a maximum time frame in which the student is expected to finish a degree program; and a comparison of the number of credit hours the student attempted with the number of credit hours the student successfully completed to determine whether the student is progressing at a rate which will allow the student to finish the program within the maximum time frame. This is referred to as the minimum completion ratio.

最大时间范围

The maximum time frame in which the student is expected to finish a baccalaureate degree program is defined as 150% of the published length of the program, 根据皇冠体育app目录, 以尝试学时计算. 例如, the College of Liberal 艺术 and Sciences requires 124 credit hours to complete a degree. 因此, the maximum time frame for which a liberal arts student may be eligible for aid is the period during which the student attempts 186 credit hours (124 X 1.5 = 186).

最小完成率

The percentage of attempted credit hours a student must successfully complete to demonstrate SAP is the minimum completion ratio. For all undergraduate degree programs at Alfred University, this percentage is 67%. The minimum completion ratio is determined by dividing the program credit hours required for graduation by the maximum time frame credit hours.

The application of the completion ratio is cumulative. 因此, a student must successfully complete 67% of all credit hours attempted to demonstrate SAP for federal and University aid. 例如, if a student attempted 60 credit hours during the first four semesters of enrollment, this student would need to demonstrate at least 40 successfully completed credit hours to satisfy the SAP minimum completion ratio requirement (60 X .67 = 40.2).

C. Evaluation Periods and Frequency of Measurement

The review of a student's SAP is done annually at the end of each semester, 在最终成绩由注册主任公布后. All students are reviewed regardless of the student's enrollment status or number of semesters attended during the academic year.

D. 累积平均绩点(CUM/GPA)

The CUM/GPA is the CUM/GPA as determined and recorded by the University Registrar on the student's official Alfred University academic record. Grades earned at other institutions for transfer credits are not considered to determine the student's Alfred University CUM/GPA or for SAP CUM/GPA requirements.

E. 尝试学时

就SAP而言, a credit hour is considered attempted unless the student's academic record demonstrates one of the following grade designations for the course credits: CH, AU, 或者. Classes/courses which carry a designation of 0 credit hours are not considered attempted credits. Transfer credits are also considered attempted credits. 参见下面的G，“转换学时”."

F. 学时

A credit is considered successfully completed and earned if the student's academic record demonstrates a P, 或者A到D的学分. Classes/courses which carry a designation of 0 credit hours are not considered earned credits. Transfer credits are also considered earned credits. 参见下面的G，“转换学时”."

G. 转换学时

Credits transferred into Alfred University are considered as both attempted credit hours and earned credit hours for the SAP quantitative measurement standards, maximum time frame and minimum completion ratio.

H. Failure to Demonstrate Satisfactory Academic Progress

丧失援助资格

Students who fail to meet one or more of the SAP standards become ineligible to receive further Federal Title IV and University aid payments at Alfred University.

上诉权

Students determined to be ineligible for Federal Title IV and University aid programs have the right to appeal. Appeals must represent extenuating circumstances which occurred to cause the student to fail achieving SAP. Appeals must be made in writing (a letter or email), 作者:学生, presented to the director of financial aid within 15 days of the date on the letter notifying the student of the lack of SAP, 并有适当的文档支持. Appeal decisions are made by the director of financial aid.

所有申诉必须包括一份学术计划, 如果之后, will ensure the student is able to meet SAP standards within one or two semesters of additional attendance. Academic plans must be approved by the student's college/school dean and identify specific actions and academic performance criteria the student will satisfy during and at the end of each semester in the academic plan.

为学生提供具体的, 上诉信的详细指导, 允许的上诉情况, and academic plans when notified of SAP noncompliance.

经济援助试用期

如果学生的上诉被批准, the student will be placed on financial aid probation for the next semester attended. Students may receive aid payment during probation. 在试用期结束时, the student must satisfy all SAP standards and/or their academic plan requirements to be eligible for continued aid payments the following semester.

I. 恢复援助资格

Students who do not satisfy the SAP requirements may reinstate their aid eligibility by correcting SAP deficiencies without the benefit of Federal or University aid or submitting a successful appeal and satisfying SAP standards after a probation period.

II. 纽约州进步标准

New York State has established academic progress standards for the 学费 Assistance Program (TAP), 国家奖学金, 以及其他国家援助项目. 对纽约州来说, the student is subject to three progress standards: 项目的追求, 令人满意的学业进展, 平均成绩要求为C.

A. 项目的追求

Program pursuit is defined as receiving a passing or failing grade, in a certain percentage of a full-time course load, in each semester for which a State aid award is received to be eligible for the next semester's payment. The percentage increases from 50% of the minimum full-time course load (12 credit hours) in each semester of study in the first year for which an award is received, to 75% of the minimum full-time course load in each semester of study in the second year for which an award is received, to 100% of the minimum full-time course load in each semester thereafter.

The following chart illustrates the 项目的追求 requirements for New York State aid. The chart defines the number of credit hours a student must complete during the semester for which a State aid payment was received according to the student's cumulative number of State aid payments received.

对于程序追求, a credit hour is considered completed if the student received an A through F, Z, P或I级.

B. 学业进展满意(SAP)

The New York State 令人满意的学业进展 measurement defines the minimum number of earned credits and the minimum CUM/GPA which must be met for each term of study in which a State award is received. 下面的图表说明了这些标准. A credit is considered successfully completed and earned if the student's academic record demonstrates a P 或者A到D的学分.

*Only students enrolled in a five-year baccalaureate program or an approved Education Opportunity Program may receive a fifth academic year of payment.
