Periods of enrollment for which a student doesn’t receive Title IV aid, Summer and Winter Term enrollments, and transfer hours from other institutions accepted by the university will count toward this limit. You may not be eligible for financial aid if you’ve attempted more than 150% of the credit hours required to receive a first undergraduate degree (e.g., 120 hours required x 150% = 180 maximum allowable hours attempted for financial aid eligibility). Maximum Time Frame Undergraduate Students For a student pursing a second Bachelor’s degree all graded undergraduate courses count in the GPA calculation. For repeated coursework, the initial course and repeated course are included in all SAP Calculations: GPA, Pace, and Maximum Time Frame. Incomplete grades are not considered satisfactory and will therefore negatively impact your pace. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign does not offer non-credit remedial courses.Ĭompleted credit hours include all courses (including transfer courses) graded as satisfactory, credit earned, or deferred (DFR), or with a passing letter grade. Attempted credit hours are defined as the total number of hours you’ve been enrolled in and includes all hours you’re registered for on the 10th business day of fall and spring semesters and the 5th business day of summer and winter semesters plus any additional hours you’re registered for after these deadlines.Īttempted credit hours include completed courses (including transfer courses) with passing grades as well as courses that weren’t completed, failed, dropped, withdrawn, or reported as incomplete. You must successfully complete at least 67% of cumulative attempted hours by the end of each term. Minimum Cumulative Pace (Credit Hour Completion Rate) Students should contact the Office of Student Financial Aid if they have regained eligibility due to a grade change and their SAP status will be re-evaluated.
Students enrolled in the Carle Illinois College of Medicine and the College of Veterinary Medicine are required to maintain a pass rate of at least 70%. Students transferring credit hours from other institutions: if there is an associated grade with the transferred credit hours, it will be counted in the grade point calculation. For students receiving an Incomplete (I) or deferred (DFR) grade, the course is not counted in the initial cumulative GPA, however once a final grade is entered, the SAP Cumulative GPA will be recalculated at the next SAP evaluation based upon the new grade. Grades of S, U, CR, NC, PS, PP, NP, PZ, and PX or W are reported on the official university transcript but are not included in the GPA since grade points are not assigned to these letter grades.
You must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 (which equals a C) or better on a 4.0 scale, as determined by the university and described in the Code of Policies and Regulations Applying to All Students. You may continue to receive financial aid by meeting all of the following criteria, which have been established as the minimum standards for making SAP at Illinois: Minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) Academic r ecords are reviewed at the end of every term to determine if SAP requirements are being met. C hanges in major or degree objective have no effect on SAP c alculations.
We look at your academic records based on your academic level (undergraduate, graduate, law, etc.). Our review is independent from any review of your academic record conducted by various academic departments. Students who don’t meet our SAP requirements may lose their eligibility to receive federal, state, and institutional financial aid. This policy applies to all periods of enrollment whether or not students receive aid. Your official academic record maintained by the Office of the Registrar is reviewed each semester to determine compliance with the SAP requirements. Requirements for Financial Aid EligibilityĪll students are monitored for SAP regardless of their eligibility or intent to receive financial aid. We’re required by federal regulations to ensure that all enrolled students are making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) toward completing their degree. 2022 Student Employee and Tutor of the Year.Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan.Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan.Undergraduate Scholarship & Waiver Policy.Senior Citizen Courses Act Tuition Waiver.Teacher Education Assistance for College & Higher Education (TEACH) Grant.
