Satisfactory Academic Progress

Satisfactory Academic Progress, 或SAP, 是否有一项联邦法规要求财政援助办公室监督每个接受财政援助的学生在完成学位的过程中取得的进展.

Students who fall behind in their coursework, fail to achieve minimum standards for grade point average, 或未能在规定的时间内完成课程可能会失去所有类型的联邦资格, 大学, and state aid administered by our office.

Requirements for Maintaining SAP

Qualitative Requirements (GPA)

Undergraduate Students

Frostburg State requires students to have a 2.0 cumulative grade point average to graduate and maintain SAP.

本科生可能需要向教务长办公室申请留在学校，也需要向财政援助办公室申请保持财政援助资格.

Graduate Students

The SAP standards for graduate students mirror the graduation requirements. Graduate students must maintain a 3.累计平均绩点为0，才能继续获得经济资助，以及顺利毕业.

研究生可以要求他们的项目协调员继续在澳门十大赌城官方网站注册，并要求财政援助办公室保持财政援助资格.

Quantitative Standards

Minimum Passing Requirement

为了满足SAP的规定，学生必须完成所有课程的67%，包括转到FSU的课程. To determine the completed average, 学生需要加上所有尝试的学时(包括转到澳门十大赌城官方网站的学分)，然后加上所有完成的课程学时(包括转到FSU的学分)，然后将完成的学时除以尝试的学时.

6 completed credit hours / 12 attempted credit hours = 50% completion rate

Maximum time to completion

本科学生第一个学士学位不得超过180学分，第二个学士学位不得超过240学分.

研究生不能尝试超过获得学位所需总学分的150%. Due to graduate programs requiring a different number of credits per program, students will need to calculate this rule based on their program of study.

Attempted credits include the following grades A, B, C, D, F, P, N, FX, W, WF, NC, NR, CS, I, AP, CE, CL, IB, PT and all transfer credits.

Completed credits include the following grades A, B, C, D, P, AP, CE, CL, IB, PT and all transfer credits.

所有学生将在每学期(夏季、秋季、课间和春季)结束时接受评估。. 学生在做出入学决定时需要审查进度规则和成绩单.

弗罗斯特堡现在将被要求按照联邦法律规定的标准来评估和衡量学生. Each student will have one of four statuses:

Meets all components of the SAP standards (eligible to receive financial aid)
SAP警告
SAP缓刑
Does not Meet SAP Standards (not eligible to receive financial aid)

SAP警告

在学术生涯中第一次不符合SAP标准的学生将被置于SAP警告. 未达到SAP标准的学生将收到警告，但允许其在一个额外的付款期(学期)内继续获得第四章援助。. The student will receive a "letter" notification within their student portal. 通过FSU学生电子邮件和学术顾问的额外通信也可以用来提醒和指导学生通过SAP上诉过程.

SAP缓刑

在SAP警告的一个付款周期后未达到SAP标准的学生将被拒绝提供经济援助. However, students will then have the right to appeal. If the appeal is granted, 该学生将被安排在SAP试用期，并在一个额外的付款期内继续获得第四章援助.

Appeals will be granted for the following circumstances:

有下列情有可原情况的学生:亲属死亡, injury or illness of the student, or other special circumstances;
学校已确定该学生在随后的付款期或之后能够达到SAP标准;
为满足毕业要求，学生和/或其导师已经制定了一份学术计划，学生将继续遵循该学术计划.

如果学生不符合SAP标准，他们将不允许每学期上诉. 一旦学生处于SAP试用期，他或她必须在下学期达到SAP标准或满足先前制定的学术计划的要求，以重新获得经济援助资格. 这条规则的唯一例外是，如果发生了不同的情有可原的情况. 如果你觉得例外情况适用于你的情况，请联系财政援助办公室.

财务援助办公室将单独评估每个学生，看看是否有可能达到SAP标准. If a student will never be able to meet one of the standards listed above, the student will be denied financial aid indefinitely at Frostburg State.

Repeated Courses and Withdrawal

Repeated Courses

学生只能再补修一次以前通过的课程，并且仍然有该课程的学分计入他们的经济资助入学. Students may repeat courses they fail to pass until the courses are passed. Failed credits are only those courses for which the student receives an F. 如果你必须重修一门你已经通过多次的课程(通过的学分包括a), B, C, D, CS, NC, P, 和W), 除了这门课之外，你必须至少有12个其他学分才能被认为是全日制的经济援助目的.

DVMT类

The 金融援助 Office can no longer pay for DVMT classes a second time. 如果你必须重新参加DVMT课程，除了该课程之外，你必须至少有12个其他学分，才能被认为是全日制的经济援助目的.

取款

在学期结束时，一旦成绩公布，就会决定非正式退学. Students who cease to attend classes receive a FX as a final grade. 任何获得FX分数的学生都将被评估，看看导师报告的学术活动的最后日期是否在60%点之前.

Any student who receives all FX grades for a semester, or all FX grades and Ws, will be considered unofficially withdrawn from the 大学. 在注册期满六成前登记退学日期的, 法律要求经济援助办公室执行第四章资金的返还计算，并将学生的部分经济援助返还给联邦计划.

Any student who receives all FX grades for a semester, or all FX grades and Ws, will be ineligible to receive financial aid for the next semester or term. As with any unsatisfactory academic progress, the student has the right to appeal the loss of financial aid. 希望上诉的学生必须向财政援助办公室发送详细的信件以及任何相关的支持文件.
