| Degree Program | 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 75% of the credit hours attempted during the academic year. 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 75% | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Year | 16 hours | 16 hours | 32 Hours | 32 hours × 75% = 24 hours |
| 2nd Year | 15 hours | 15 hours | 62 Hours | 62 hours × 75% = 47 hours |
| 3rd Year | 17 hours | 17 hours | 96 Hours | 96 hours × 75% = 72 hours |
Attempted hours are defined as those for which a student receives a grade of A, B, C, D, F, I, W, WP, or WF. Grades A, B, C, and D shall be considered as credits earned.
Grades F, W, I and Audit—count as attempted hours for the purpose of determining Satisfactory Academic Progress. Withdrawing from courses at any point after the drop/add period will negatively affect the 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 you received financial aid. 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 |
A student who changes his/her major is still responsible for completing his/her degree in the maximum time frame. The allowed time frame does not automatically increase if you change your major or pursue double majors
