满意的学业进步政策
Federal and state regulations governing student financial assistance programs require an institution to develop a standard measure of a student’s reasonable progress towards a degree objective. 保持联邦资格, state and institutional financial aid students must comply with 德克萨斯南方大学 standards for Satisfactory Academic Progress.
该标准适用于州和联邦财政援助项目, 包括联邦佩尔助学金, 联邦补充教育机会补助金, 联邦工作研究, 联邦直接斯塔福德贷款, 联邦本科生直接父母贷款, 毕业生PLUS贷款, 和联邦教育补助金.
These financial aid standards of academic progress are separate from, 除了, academic standards required by the student’s college for continued enrollment. The criteria used to determine academic progress are cumulative grade point average, 累计完成率, 以及完成学位的最长时间框架.

|---|---|---|---|
| 本科 | 2.0 | 67% | 180 |

SAP的指导方针
1. 评估增量 – The academic progress of financial aid recipients will be evaluated on a yearly basis at the end of the last term enrolled. 学生 will be awarded based on the academic year; however, eligibility will be evaluated based on the prior academic year’s grades. 申请被批准的学生每学期将接受评估, failing or withdrawing from a course will result in the loss of financial aid eligibility.
2. 不完整的 (“I”) – A grade of “I” indicates that a student has not finished all course work required for a grade and is included in the cumulative credits attempted. An incomplete grade will not count as hours successfully completed until a final grade is posted.
3. 取款 (“W”) – A grade of “W” indicates the student withdrew from the course after the last day to drop. Courses with a grade of “W” will not be calculated in the GPA; however, “W”将影响学生的完成率计算.
4. 重复的课程 – Student aid guidelines permit a student to repeat a course as many times as necessary to receive a passing grade. 及格分数是指高于F的分数. 一旦学生获得及格分数, the student may repeat the course only one additional time to earn a higher grade and receive financial aid.
5. 转让的课程 – Courses accepted from another institution are counted in the total credits attempted and completed.
6. 专业变更 – 学生 who change majors are still expected to maintain satisfactory academic progress and complete the coursework within the time frame.
