研究生经济援助政策

To be eligible to receive financial assistance under any Federal Title IV or University assistantship, 奖学金, 格兰特, 贷款或工作计划, students must demonstrate minimum qualitative and quantitative academic measurement standards. The qualitative and quantitative standards used to measure satisfactory academic progress are cumulative and encompass all enrollment periods, including periods of enrollment during which the student did not receive federal or 大学的援助.

A. 定性测量

The qualitative measurement standard is expressed as a minimum cumulative grade point average (CUM/GPA) which must be demonstrated prior to each semester of enrollment. 以下图表说明了最低CUM/GPA要求:

出勤学期
最低CUM/GPA: 0

出勤学期:2个或以上
最低CUM/GPA: 3.0

B. 定量测定

The quantitative measurement standard has two concepts: a maximum time frame in which the student is expected to finish a degree program; and a comparison of the number of credit hours the student attempted with the number of credit hours the student successfully completed to determine whether the student is progressing at a rate which will allow the student to finish the program within the maximum time frame. 这被称为最小完成率.

最大时间范围

The maximum time frame in which the student is expected to finish a graduate degree program is defined as 150% of the published length of the program, 根据皇冠体育app目录, 以尝试学时计算. 例如, 如果一个研究生项目需要30个学分来完成学位, the maximum time frame for which the student may be eligible for aid is the period during which the student attempts 45 credit hours (30 x 1.5 = 45).

最小完成率

The percentage of attempted credit hours a student must successfully complete to demonstrate SAP is the minimum completion ratio. 在皇冠体育app的所有研究生学位课程中，这一比例为67%. The minimum completion ratio is determined by dividing the program credit hours required for graduation by the maximum time frame credit hours. 完成率的应用是累积的. 因此, a student must successfully complete 67% of all credit hours attempted to demonstrate SAP for federal & 大学的援助. 例如, 如果学生在入学的前两个学期尝试了30个学分, this student would need to demonstrate at least 20 successfully completed credit hours to satisfy the SAP minimum completion ratio requirement (30 x .67 = 20.1).

C. 评估周期和测量频率

每个学期结束时对学生的SAP进行审查, 在最终成绩由注册主任公布后. All students are reviewed regardless of the student's enrollment status or number of semesters attended during the academic year.

D. 累积平均绩点(CUM/GPA)

The CUM/GPA is the CUM/GPA as determined and recorded by the University Registrar on the student's official Alfred University academic record. Grades earned at other institution's for transfer credits are not considered to determine the student's Alfred University CUM/GPA or SAP CUM/GPA requirements.

E. 尝试学时

就SAP而言, a credit hour is considered attempted unless the student's academic record demonstrates one of the following grade designations for the course credits: CH, AU或EX. Classes/courses which carry a designation of 0 credit hours are not considered attempted credits. 转学学分也被认为是尝试学分. 参见下面的G，“转换学时”."

F. 学时

A credit is considered successfully completed and earned if the student's academic record demonstrates a P, HP或A到D的学分. Classes/courses which carry a designation of 0 credit hours are not considered earned credits. 转学学分也被认为是学分. 参见下面的G，“转换学时”."

G. 转换学时

Credits transferred into Alfred University are considered as both attempted credit hours and earned credit hours for the SAP quantitative measurement standards, 最大时间框架和最小完成率.

H. 未能证明令人满意的学业进步

丧失援助资格

Students who fail to meet one or more of the SAP standards become ineligible to receive further Federal Title IV and 大学的援助 payments at Alfred University.

上诉权

Students determined to be ineligible for Federal Title IV and 大学的援助 programs have the right to appeal. Appeals must represent extenuating circumstances which occurred to cause the student to fail achieving SAP. 上诉必须以书面形式(信件或电子邮件)提出。, 作者:学生, presented to the director of financial aid within 15 days of the date on the letter notifying the student of the lack of SAP and supported by appropriate documentation. 上诉决定由财政援助主任作出.

所有申诉必须包括一份学术计划, 如果之后, will ensure the student is able to meet SAP standards within one or two semesters of additional attendance. Academic plans must be approved by the student's college/school dean and identify specific actions and academic performance criteria the student will satisfy during and at the end of each semester in the academic plan.

为学生提供具体的, 上诉信的详细指导, allowable appeal circumstances and academic plans when notified of SAP noncompliance.

经济援助试用期

如果学生的上诉被批准, 该学生将在下学期获得经济资助试用. 学生在试用期间可以获得助学金. 在试用期结束时, the student must satisfy all SAP standards and/or their academic plan requirements to be eligible for continued aid payments the following semester.

I. 恢复援助资格

Students who do not satisfy the SAP requirements may reinstate their aid eligibility by correcting the SAP deficiencies without the benefit of Federal or 大学的援助 or submitting a successful appeal and satisfying SAP standards after a probation period.
