Federal policy mandates that all students must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 at the end of their fourth semester at the college to remain eligible for financial aid. If a student's grade point average is below 2.00 at the end of his or her fourth term, that student is notified in writing regarding his or her academic status and the loss of financial aid. All students must be in compliance with the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy (SAP) and the Fourth Semester Policy (FSAP) to be in good academic standing and to be eligible for financial aid including student loans and/or to maintain financial aid eligibility.
