Students must have attained an overall “C” average (2.00 GPA) by the end of their second academic year of study (regardless of enrollment status during the two-year period). Please be reminded that developmental course grades will NOT be factored, (will not count), into your overall GPA.

Satisfactory academic progress will be checked annually before Pell Grant funds are awarded.
Amnesty, Bankruptcy, and course forgiveness hours will be counted in the time frame and completion rate for financial aid consideration.

Probation
A student’s failure to meet any of the above conditions will result in the student being placed on financial aid probation for a period not to exceed one (1) semester. During this probationary period, the student may continue to receive financial aid. However, if the student fails to comply with the minimum standards of satisfactory academic progress at the end of the probationary period, financial aid will be terminated.

A student withdrawing from the College and falls below the minimum standards of academic progress after receiving one semester probation will have his/her financial aid terminated. A student with an incomplete (I) in a course should be aware that incompletes automatically become F’s after two weeks of the next semester.

Exception is given to students enrolled in
