For each full-time quarter term after 8, a student must complete a minimum of 6 credit hours each term and maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 not to exceed a maximum of 23 full-time terms. Before each payment period, the student’s academic record will be checked for satisfactory academic progress. Failure to maintain minimum academic progress will result in a student being ineligible to receive Title IV financial assistance following one term of Financial Aid Warning.
Part-time Undergraduate Satisfactory Academic Progress
Part-time undergraduate students must successfully complete at least 50 percent of their attempted credit hours and be in good academic standing at the point in the program that is consistent with the requirement for graduation outlined above.
