Other SAP Information
Additional information regarding grades, credits, academic policies and study abroad
- Earned Hours: A,B,C,D, Pass and Transfer Hours accepted by Kentucky State University
- Attempted Hours: All earned hours, plus W, F, MP, I (with exceptions listed below)
- Accepted Transfer and Test Credits: Count as earned and attempted hours; are not factored into the student's GPA calculation
- Repeat Courses: Courses count as attempted hours each time taken, regardless of whether federal financial aid is received. If the class is passed, it is also counted as earned hours.
o If a student is using any of his or her repeat options offered through the Registrar's Office, the initial enrollment in the course (the class which is being replaced) will be included as attempted hours and excluded from earned hours if previously passed (which impacts pace), and it will be excluded in the GPA calculation.
- Incomplete and Withdrawal Grades: Count as attempted hours; do not count as earned hours
- Audited/Non-Credit Courses: Excluded from all calculations and will not be considered when determining SAP status
- Credit by Exam Courses: Courses are counted as attempted hours, and if the course is passed, it is also counted as earned hours. If a student receives an A, B, C, D, or F grade for the course, it is factored into their GPA calculation.
- Remedial/Developmental Courses: Courses are counted as attempted hours, and if the course is passed, it is also counted as earned hours. If a student receives an A, B, C, D, or F grade for the course, it is factored into their GPA calculation. However, a separate qualitative analysis will be performed at the same time as the annual SAP evaluation to evaluate the quality of the student's academic work in remedial/developmental courses.
- Academic Bankruptcy: Will impact a student's cumulative GPA; however, has no impact on earned and attempted hours (maximum time frame and pace includes courses coded as bankruptcy and fresh start)
- Study Abroad: Courses accepted by Kentucky State University will be used in determining SAP
