Standard Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) The Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard of the Washtenaw Community College Financial Aid Office requires that all students receiving aid maintain a cumulative and semester grade point average of 2.0 or greater and complete at least 75 percent of their semester credits.
Students should be aware that schedule changes made during the 100% refund period may result in the student owing back financial aid funds. Also, any changes made after the 100% refund period may be subject to probation or termination status for failing to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard for completion of courses. Withdrawing, Auditing, Incompletes, Course Repetition, Non-Credit, and Remedial Students who withdraw from a class (or classes) may be subject to probation or termination status for failing to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard for completion of courses. Students who withdraw from all of their classes will be terminated from financial aid and may have to repay a portion of their financial aid. Financial Aid will not pay for classes in an audit status. If a student changes their class status to an audit (AU) their financial aid will be adjusted and they may be subject to probation or termination status for failing to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard for completion of courses. Incomplete grades affect a student's completion rate and may make the student subject to probation or termination status for failing to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard for completion of courses. At the end of a semester any classes in an incomplete status are not calculated as credit earned. When/If the student completes the class(es), they must notify the Financial Aid Office to have their Satisfactory Academic Progress reviewed. If a student decides to repeat a class for a higher grade, the credits will not be included in the student's completion rate. Students may need to contact the Financial Aid Office to have their Satisfactory Academic Progress reviewed. Non-Credit classes do not affect a student's Satisfactory Academic Progress in any way. These classes are not factored into the calculation of GPA or completion rate. A student is eligible to have financial aid pay for up to 30 attempted credits of remedial course work. After reaching 30 attempted hours, additional remedial coursework will not be paid for by financial aid and the credits are not included in determining a student's Satisfactory Academic Progress. Appeals Students who have been terminated from financial aid for any of the above listed reasons, and feel they have mitigating circumstances may file an appeal with the Financial Aid Appeals Committee. The Appeals Committee will decide if a student should be granted an additional semester of financial aid. If students are granted an additional semester of financial aid, they must meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard or they again will be terminated from financial aid. Note: Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard and Academic Intervention Program are not the same. Please see the Academic Intervention Program page if you are looking for that information. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
