<strong><u>academic<\/u><\/strong> progress (<strong><u>SAP<\/u><\/strong>) be equal or stricter than the standards required of students who are not receiving financial assistance. <strong><u>Generally all periods of the student&#8217;s enrollment count when reviewing for SAP, even periods in which the student did not receive federal funds.<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 Hampton University is required by federal regulations to institute standards of satisfactory progress for students receiving Title IV assistance. Hampton University has adopted financial aid standards that differentiate between students receiving assistance and those students not receiving assistance.<\/p><p><strong>What is Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)?<\/strong> The qualitative (grade point average) and quantitative (time limit) measure of a student\u2019s progress toward completing a program of study.<\/p><p><strong>Why Must Schools Maintain and Enforce Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards?<\/strong> In order to comply with the laws of the Higher Education Act (HEA 484) and Code of Federal Regulations (34 CFR). In sum, in order to receive any grant and\/or loan assistance under this title, a student must meet satisfactory academic progress standards imposed by the Financial Aid Office. A student is maintaining satisfactory academic progress at the University if they meet the minimum guidelines at the end of each academic year, or its equivalent.<\/p><p class=\"h35\">SAP Quantitative Standard<\/p><p>All students receiving Title IV financial assistance will be required to complete their degree-seeking program<br \/>within the following maximum time frames:<\/p><p class=\"h35\">Undergraduate<\/p><table class=\"tableholder\" width=\"99%\" align=\"center\"><tbody><tr><th width=\"26%\">\u00a0<\/th><th width=\"30%\">Attempted Hours<\/th><th width=\"44%\">Minimum No. of Earned<br \/>Credit Hours Per Semester<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Full-time<\/td><td valign=\"middle\">12 hours or more<\/td><td valign=\"middle\">10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3\/4 time<\/td><td valign=\"middle\">9-11 hours<\/td><td valign=\"middle\">9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Part-time<\/td><td valign=\"middle\">6-8 hours<\/td><td valign=\"middle\">6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Less than 1\/2<\/td><td valign=\"middle\">5 and below<\/td><td valign=\"middle\">Must complete whatever attempted<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p><strong>Academic Year:<\/strong>Full-time enrollment for two semesters equals one academic year.

Less than full-time students will be extended on a pro rata basis not to exceed the equivalent of 12 semesters of full-time enrollment.<\/p><p><strong>Three-quarter time<\/strong> (9-11 hours per semester) students must earn a minimum of 18 credits per academic year to receive financial assistance.<\/p><p><strong>Half-time<\/strong> (6-8 hours per semester) students must earn a minimum of 12 credits per academic year to to receive financial assistance.<\/p><p><strong>Time Limit:<\/strong> Students will be allowed six academic years in which to complete an undergraduate degree.<\/p><p>The number of credit hours in which the student is enrolled on the day following the published last day to add\/drop a class will be used as the official enrollment status for the purpose of financial assistance awarding; full-time status is 12 or more hours. If a student withdraws from classes after the date cited above and reduces their enrollment below the awarded status (the number of hours recorded as of the add\/drop date), the student will not be meeting the minimum number of hours to be earned in one academic year. The deficit hours must be made up in the Spring or Summer semesters immediately following the deficient term otherwise, the student may be ineligible for further financial assistance.<\/p><p><strong>(Rationale: <\/strong>Use of the last day to add\/drop as the cut-off date will allow the Office of Financial Aid to standardize the evaluation point in the semester. It will also provide students a definitive answer to the question, \u201cHow will my financial aid be affected if I drop a course?\u201d Awards will be adjusted based on the enrollment status at that time).<\/p><p>An <strong>Incomplete (I) grade<\/strong> indicates that a student has not completed all course-work required for a grade; students are allowed up to one academic year to complete the work. An <strong>Incomplete<\/strong> will not count as hours passed until a final grade is determined.<\/p><p><strong><u>Repeated Courses<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p>Repeated courses <strong><u>are NOT counted towards your meeting satisfactory academic progress <\/u><\/strong> for number of semester hours earned.<\/p><p>Failure to meet the minimum academic requirements given above makes the student ineligible to receive financial<br \/>assistance. A student who is suspended for a given semester is not eligible to receive any financial assistance until<br \/>the student has been reinstated to a satisfactory academic progress level.<\/p><p><strong>Academically Dismissed Students <\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Students <\/strong>who are allowed to return to the University <strong><u>via the Readmit process cannot receive Federal Student Aid until they demonstrate that they are capable of earning a minimum semester GPA of 2.0 or better. The student must earn a semester GPA of 2.0 and have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Otherwise, the student can apply for non-federal educational loan assistance. The Office of Financial Aid will only permit a total of two appeals for reinstatement for students who have been academically dismissed. Students who become academically dismissed after the Spring semester cannot receive Federal Student Aid for the Summer session.<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Part-time students who have been academically suspended and are allowed to return to the University, must attend one semester and complete a minimum of six (6) credit hours and earn a minimum semester grade point average of 2.0 before being reinstated to the financial aid programs. The student must also complete all hours attempted and earn a minimum semester grade point average of 2.0 each semester thereafter, in order to remain eligible in all financial aid programs.<\/p><p><strong>Transfer Students<\/strong><\/p><p>The amount of time given a transfer student to complete his\/her degree program is prorated based on the number of credit hours that are transferred to Hampton University. For example, if you transferred 50 credits toward your degree program, we would prorate, using the following formula: 50\/120 (required cumulative credit hours that must be earned by the end of each of the six academic years) x 6 years equal 2.5 years, irrespective if you received financial aid during any of those years. The total number of transfer credits plus your hours attempted and earned here at Hampton University is used to quantify academic progress. The student cannot attempt more than 180 credits, including transfer credits. Insofar as qualitative standard applies, your transfer credits cumulative grade point average is not counted toward your Hampton University cumulative grade point average, only those credits earned here at Hampton University are counted.<\/p><p><strong>Readmitted Students<\/strong> will be reviewed on previous academic records in order to determine eligibility for financial assistance, irrespective of the time elapsed since the student&#8217;s last attendance, or program of study, and\/or degree program.<\/p><p><strong>Non-Credit Remedial Courses<\/strong> are eligible for Title IV aid, only if the student has been accepted into an eligible program of study. No more than one year\u2019s worth of remedial coursework may be counted in determining a student\u2019s enrollment status.<\/p><p><strong><u>Change in Major<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p>For students who have changed their major, you are evaluated the same, there are no exceptions.<\/p><p class=\"h35\">Graduate Eligibility<\/p><p>To be in compliance with the Satisfactory Academic Progress standards, graduate students must meet the following requirements: The student must have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better.
