maintain satisfactory academic progress as defined here will not be permitted to receive federal or institutional financial aid.
| Degree Level | Minimum Cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| Undergraduate Students with 0 – 29 credit hours | 1.70 |
| Undergraduate Students with 30 or more credit hours | 2.00 |
| Graduate Students | 3.00 |
A student must successfully complete a minimum of 67% of the credit hours attempted. Successful completion for this purpose is defined as receiving a grade of “D” or better. Example:
| Fall Semester/Spring Semester | Total Attempted (All Years) | Must earn at least 67% | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Year | 15 hours + 15 hours | 30 Hours | 30 hours × 67% = 20 hours |
| 2nd Year | 16 hours + 16 hours | 62 Hours | 62 hours × 67% = 42 hours |
| 3rd Year | 17 hours + 17 hours | 96 Hours | 96 hours × 67% = 64 hours |
Withdrawing from courses at any point after the drop/add period will negatively affect a student's completion rate. A student who repeats courses, withdraws frequently, or takes courses not related to a degree objective is not making progress toward graduation and is subject to loss of eligibility for financial aid.
All undergraduate and graduate students are expected to finish their program within a maximum time frame which cannot exceed 150% of the published length of their program. All attempted credit hours are considered toward the maximum time calculation, regardless of whether or not financial aid was received. Test, Transfer, and remedial/developmental hours are also included.
Example:
| Program Hours Needed to Graduate | Total Attempted (all years) | Attempted x 150% | MTF SAP Standing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 48 credit hours | Student A: 60 Hours | Meeting SAP < 72 hours | Meets SAP |
| 66 credit hours | Student B: 90 Hours | Meeting SAP < 99 hours | Meets SAP |
| 128 credit hours | Student C: 197 Hours | Meeting SAP < 192 hours | Not Meet SAP |
