令人满意的学业进展

单击打开GPA计算器

Federal and state statutes establish 令人满意的学业进展 (SAP) requirements, which must be uniformly applied to all federal or state financial aid program applicants. 德州最南学院 applies the standards mandated by the Program Integrity Rules, 七月一日过, 2011, which are applied at the conclusion of each payment period to include the fall, 春天, 夏季学期. 金融援助 SAP is based on the following quantitative measures:

  • 平均绩点: 定性的衡量标准要求本科学生努力获得证书或副学士学位,以保持最低累积平均绩点(GPA)为2.000. This includes grades earned for developmental, 双录取, 和/或转学课程.
  • 完成比例: 定量衡量要求本科生保持67%的累计完成率的尝试课程(包括发展, 双录取, 及/或TSC接受的转学时间). 该百分比由完成的小时数除以尝试的总小时数确定. Attempted hours are the total number of hours completed plus hours of W, I, 和F(以及重复的课程).
  • 完成学术课程的时间表: This measure limits the number of credit hours attempted to pursue an undergraduate certificate or a degree. The maximum attempted hours are 150% of the credits required to complete the student’s program of study. For the purposes of obtaining an associate’s degree at TSC requiring 60 credit hours, 最多通常是90个学时, 包括发展, 双录取, 和/或转学课程. 考虑学位计划变更或学术重新开始的学生应考虑在最大允许限制下完成新计划的能力. A student is ineligible at the evaluation point where indicated will exceed the max time frame, 而不是当他们真正达到最大时间范围的时候.

Compliance with SAP must be met in order for a student to retain their financial aid eligibility. Students are advised to check their status through their TSC Online account.

令人满意的学业进步包括学生在TSC太阳城赌场app下载提供的任何学分注册期间在官方记录日期(根据公布的学术日历)注册的所有学分, 包括小型课程和夏季学期, 所有接受的转学分, 以及学生在没有经济资助和双录取期间所修的课程. Earned hours are those credits for which a student receives a passing grade, according to grade standards published in the undergraduate catalog.

Courses with grades of A, B, C, D, P, S, and CR are considered as attempted and earned credit hours. 成绩为F的课程, G, U, W, WC, WF, WM, WP, WS, NR, DF, DP, 和DR被认为是尝试的学分,但不是获得的. Incomplete courses (with a grade of I) are considered attempted hours until a final grade is posted. Students must request a re-evaluation after successfully completing an incomplete course. Repeated course hours (designated as R) are included as attempted hours but excluded from earned hours, 无论课程成绩如何. Withdrawn courses are considered attempted credits but are excluded from earned credits, 不管退出的原因是什么.  如果一个学生被授予学术上的新开始, 这些时间被计算在财务援助SAP的用途中.

转专业和转学分

Students receiving financial aid must declare a major in an eligible certificate or degree program. Students should only register for courses approved for their designated degree plan/catalog year.  Change of majors must be initiated with an Enrollment/Student Success Coach. 适用于学生学位计划的转学分将计算在已修学分和已修学分中.

学生的通知

在付款期结束时未达到SAP标准的学生将被通知他们将进入一个新的学年 助学金警告 下个学期太阳城赌场通过电子邮件提交.

处于经济援助警告状态的学生,如果下学期未能达到SAP标准,将没有资格获得经济援助,并将被安置在 暂停资助. These students have the option to complete and submit a financial aid appeal. Should the financial aid appeals committee approve the financial aid SAP appeal, 这个学生将被安排参加 经济援助试用期. 下面的信息更详细地描述了每种状态.

好站

如果学生满足上述三个进步标准,则被认为在经济援助方面表现良好. These students may participate in any financial aid programs provided they meet all other eligibility criteria, 视资金情况而定.

警告状态

Students who fail to meet the grade point average requirement, 完成率要求, 或者尝试85%或更多的1.学位课程所需最低学分数的5倍将在下一学期被置于经济援助警告状态. A student cannot have two consecutive warning periods back-to-back. Students will be notified of their warning status via their TSC email.

超过规定时限的学生将不会被给予警告学期,但将立即被安排到其他学校 暂停资助. Students in this status are not eligible to receive financial aid, 然而, 他们可以提交经济援助上诉, 学术计划, and personal statement to the 金融援助 appeals committee for consideration.

暂停资助

处于经济援助警告状态的学生,如果下学期未能满足SAP要求,将没有资格获得经济援助,并将被安置在 暂停资助. 这些学生将太阳城赌场通过TSC的电子邮件收到经济援助暂停通知,并可以自费继续注册. 此时,学生可以对停学状态提出上诉.

经济援助试用期

金融援助 probation is a status assigned to students who submitted an appeal and have been approved. Students will remain on probation status for subsequent semesters as long as the requirements of the 学术计划 are met, and they are considered eligible for federal student aid. If a student fails to meet the requirements of the 学术计划, the student is not making SAP and is not eligible for Title IV funds.
