Successful Completion- A grade of 0.7 or better for each course taken. A 0.7 is equivalent to a letter grade of D- in each course taken. Maximum Timeframe- In order to improve a grade or replace an incomplete term a student may require additional time to complete the prescribed curriculum. Students must complete each grade level of the program in a maximum of three academic periods. A. Normal Timeframe to Complete Students that receive Federal Title IV Aid must maintain a Cumulative GPA consistent with the SAP set forth in the table below. A student must also successfully complete all coursework in a payment period in order to progress to the next period and be eligible for additional Title IV funds. For freshmen students, SAP is evaluated after successfully completing one half of the coursework or 15 weeks of course work (whichever is greater). A student progressing as a sophomore will be evaluated at the greater of 30 weeks or just prior to beginning their sophomore year. Further evaluation will occur at the greater of 45 weeks or halfway through their sophomore year. Summer grades count towards the calculation of the SAP but do not contribute toward the weeks or hours completed. To complete within the normal time frame, the student must complete the following minimum benchmarks: 1 st Semester 2 nd Semester 3 rd Semester 4 th Semester Instructional Weeks Completed 15 30 45 60 Instructional Hours Completed 493 986 1479 1972 Cumulative GPA 1.20 1.80 1.90 2.00
