PG电子APP根据联邦财政援助规定制定了令人满意的学术进步(SAP)政策. These 规定 require that 学生 maintain 令人满意的学业进展 in their degree program in order to receive federal financial assistance. The purpose of these 规定 is to ensure that limited federal financial assistance is disbursed only to those 学生 who are meeting the academic standards.

以下标准适用于本科和研究生课程的学生，以及继续学习和以前的学生. 所有学生必须达到学术标准，然后联邦援助认证和支付给学生. 联邦财政援助条例规定，在评估进展时，所有入学期间都要计算在内, 不管是否得到了援助.

SAP计算的时间和频率

SAP for financial aid recipients will be calculated after each term of attendance once grades have been verified by the 注册商’s office.

标准

根据联邦财政援助条例的要求, PG电子APP的SAP政策有三个标准，学生的累积学习成绩必须通过这些标准进行比较. 被认为是服从的, 学生必须满足本政策中列出的所有三个标准，以显示毕业的进展.

Standard 1: Pace of Completion (Percent年龄 of attempted credit hours completed successfully)

学生必须达到最低速度. Pace is the percent年龄 of total attempted credit hours that are completed successfully. 通过将成功完成学分的累计数量除以尝试学分的累计数量来计算进度. Grades of A, B, C, D, and P are considered successfully completed for purposes of financial aid. F级, W, WP, WF, NP, and I are considered attempted and not successfully completed for purposes of financial aid.

本科和研究生标准:最低学制67%

标准二:累积平均绩点(GPA)

学生必须达到最低累积GPA. 请参阅学术目录的评分系统部分，了解如何计算累积GPA的更多信息.

本科标准:最低累积GPA为2.0
研究生标准:最低累积GPA为3.0

标准3:最大时间框架

A student may not receive financial assistance once he or she has attempted 150 percent of the credit hours required to complete the degree. The total number of credit hours includes courses taken at other institutions which are applied to PG电子APP degree requirements. 例如, 如果学位需要100个学分才能完成, 学生可以获得最多150学时的经济资助.

本科和研究生标准:学生可以尝试完成他或她的学位所需的150%学分

SAP状态

好站: Students who meet all three SAP standards are considered to be in Good Standing. To remain in Good Standing a student must meet all three SAP standards each term. 良好的信誉是一个有资格获得经济援助的状态.

警告: 未能达到一项或多项SAP标准的学生将被给予一个学期的经济援助警告. The student’s academic progress will be verified at the end of the warning period. 警告是一个有资格获得经济援助的状态.

悬架: 警告期满仍未达到SAP标准的学生将被停学. Suspension is a status which is not eligible for federal and non-federal financial aid.

试用期: 被停学的学生有资格上诉. 如果上诉被批准，该学生将被留校察看. 缓刑是一种有资格获得经济援助的状态. 留校察看的学生必须参加一项学术计划, 当后, will ensure the student will meet SAP standards by a specific time. 不符合学业计划条件者，将被永久休学.

上诉过程

被停学的学生有权上诉. Appeals will be considered if the student has experienced circumstances that significantly contributed to his or her failure to meet the minimum standards. 医生出具的证明文件, 辅导员, 学术顾问, 或教员可能包括在内，但不是必需的. 学生必须提交与休学通知一起发送的经济援助学业进展满意申诉表.

The SAP Committee will review the student’s appeal for rein状态ment of financial assistance. 委员会的决定将通过邮件通知学生.

被财政援助委员会拒绝的上诉可以, 应学生的要求, be forwarded to the Director of Student 金融援助 for further review. 主任的决定是最终决定.

Treatment of the Following Types of Courses for 令人满意的学业进展 (SAP)

审计课程

Audit courses are ineligible for financial aid and do not count toward the number of attempted credits or the number of earned credits.

重复的课程

Repeating a course counts as attempted credit hours (for each time the course is taken) and if credit is earned (repeats as well) then it will also count as completed/earned credit hours in Pace and Maximum Timeframe calculations.

不完整的成绩

An Incomplete course counts as credit hours attempted but does not count as credit hours completed or earned until a passing grade has been assigned. 不完整的成绩，比如退课，会对学生的学习进度和经济援助资格产生负面影响. 一旦未完成的课程被分配一个最终成绩, 学生的SAP状态将被重新计算. 如果学生的SAP状态有任何变化，将会收到通知.

取消课程

退课学生退的课程(成绩为W, WP, or WF) counts as credit hours attempted but does not count as credit hours successfully completed.

转让的课程

Credits transferred to PG电子APP from another institution count as attempted and earned credits as well as toward the maximum timeframe but do not affect cumulative GPA.

高级修读课程

Advanced Standing Credit is a method by which 学生 can earn credit without completing a course. Credit is granted after the student earns a satisfactory score on an examination or a satisfactory evaluation of the portfolio on the first attempt. 这些学分计入尝试学分和已修学分，并计入最大时间框架，但不影响累积GPA.

换专业或获得额外的学位

专业变更

PG电子APP does not limit the number of times a student may change his or her major. Credit hours earned for all degrees will be used in calculating SAP standards.

RN转MSN程序

In the RN to MSN program 学生 may have semesters where they enroll in both undergraduate and graduate level coursework at the same time. Students in this program will be evaluated based on the undergraduate SAP policy standards until they have officially graduated with their bachelor’s degree. After that point, 学生 will be evaluated based on the graduate SAP policy standards.

通知

每学期结束后计算一次SAP, 学生 placed on Warning or Suspension will be notified of their status by letter via U.S. mail and a notice sent to his or her official PG电子APP email.

恢复良好信誉

A student who has failed to maintain SAP standards may regain his or her financial aid eligibility (Good Standing) by successfully completing sufficient semester hours and/or attaining the required cumulative grade point aver年龄. 学生在达到SAP标准后的一个学期才有资格获得经济援助.
