Federal and state regulations require you to meet three minimum standards in order to be eligible for financial aid funding:

1. GPA: You must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Credit hour students are reviewed at the end of each academic year, while clock hour and certificate students are reviewed at the end of each term.
2. Completion Ratio: You must complete 67% of the credit hours you attempt. This includes both transfer credit and coursework attempted at 麻豆视频. It applies to new applicants and applicants renewing their financial aid.  For credit hour students, this ration is reviewed at the end of each academic year, while clock hour and certificate students are reviewed at the end of each term.
3. Time Frame: You must complete your college credit certificate or degree program within 150% of the credit hours it requires. For example, students in the 60 credit-hour Associate in Arts program lose aid eligibility after attempting 90 credit hours. Career and Technical Certificate Clock-Hour programs are funded for the program length only (You can read more about aid packages for clock-hour programs in the section below this accordion). Because the time frame equation can vary based on individual program requirements, you should review your situation with the Financial Aid office if you have questions.

Repeat Coursework

According to Eastern Florida鈥檚 grade forgiveness policy, all degree and certificate students will be allowed to repeat only those courses in which they earn a grade of 鈥淒鈥�, 鈥淔鈥� or 鈥淲."

• A course in which a grade of 鈥淎鈥�, 鈥淏鈥� or 鈥淐鈥� has been earned will not be included in enrollment for financial aid purposes if the course is repeated, unless the course is designated in the academic catalog as repeatable and is applying to the student鈥檚 elective degree requirements.
• All attempts of repeated courses are included in the Completion Ratio and Maximum Time Frame calculations for SAP.

Course Incompletes

• Incomplete grades are included in Total Credit Hours Attempted for Completion Ratio.

English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and Developmental (Remedial) Credits

• EAP and Developmental credit hours are included in the Completion Ratio and GPA calculations. 
• EAP and Developmental credit hours are excluded from the Maximum Timeframe calculation.

Transfer Credit From Other Institutions

• All transfer grades and credit hours accepted by 麻豆视频 are included in the Completion Ratio and Minimum Cumulative GPA calculations.
• The acceptance of transfer credits is subject to 麻豆视频鈥檚 admission and academic policies.

Transfer Credit From Other 麻豆视频 Programs

• If a student changes majors or academic programs, all credit hours reflected on the 麻豆视频 transcript are still included in the Minimum Cumulative GPA, Completion Ratio, and Maximum Time Frame evaluation even if classes do not apply to the new major or academic program.
• Students who exceed the Maximum Time Frame due to a change of major may submit an appeal as described in another row of this accordion.

Withdrawals

• All course withdrawals are included in Total Credit Hours Attempted for the Completion Ratio.

How to Check Your SAP Status

1. Log in to the using your Titan email and password
2. Click or tap on Titan Web
3. Choose the Financial Aid Dashboard
4. Click or tap Satisfactory Academic Progress

Your SAP status will appear with the term that your SAP was last reviewed. If your status is anything other than "Making Progress," speak with a Financial Aid Specialist to make sure you understand your status and eligibility for financial aid.

Once the Financial Aid Office conducts an audit of your SAP status to ensure that you are meeting the three minimum standards, failure to meet any of the SAP requirements will result in the following:

• Suspension of aid: If you fail to maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA and/or a 67% completion ratio, or if you reach your maximum number of hours (both attempted and earned), you will be denied additional financial aid and placed on suspension status. You can receive aid again if you either have an approved SAP appeal, are on an Academic Plan, or you get back into good standing with the SAP standards. All three options are explained in the next row of this accordion.

If you fail to maintain SAP and your financial aid eligibility is terminated, you will be notified of your standing and you can appeal your status under the following circumstances:

• Death in the family
• Personal illness
• Parental divorce or separation
• Personal tragedy
• Loss of job
• Childcare issue
• Student's divorce or separation
• Family illness
• Other circumstances beyond your control
• You may also appeal if you have exceeded the maximum time frame by providing an explanation and a description of your plan for graduation

Appeal Procedure

To appeal an SAP decision, you must submit your request in writing using the Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal form, which is accessible in the Financial Aid Forms & Upload section.

Your appeal must clearly state:

• The circumstances that prevented you from meeting SAP minimum standards, including documentation to support this claim (e.g., a death certificate, physician's statement, or other verifiable information)
• What has changed that will allow you to make progress now

Once your appeal has been reviewed, we will notify you of the outcome via your Titan student email. To receive a response before the add/drop period, you must submit your appeal by the deadline for each term.

Following a successful appeal, you will receive aid for the term during which you are working toward reinstatement and you may be given what's known as an Academic Plan to help you reach that goal.

If you once again fail to meet SAP standards during a subsequent review, you could be suspended from receiving further financial aid and your existing Academic Plan would have to be re-evaluated and if not on an assigned plan, you'll be placed on one.

Academic Plan

Following a successful appeal, if your academic performance is unable to meet SAP standards at the end of the term, the Financial Aid Office will notify you that you have been placed on an Academic Plan. The financial aid team develops this plan for you and it includes the expectations that would lead to reinstatement. Some aspects of the academic plan will include grade progression, time frame to reach improvement, and it will notify you if any further documentation may be required. Each academic plan will be re-evaluated at the end of each term to determine if progress toward the individualized goal is still attainable. If modifications to the academic plan are necessary, the Financial Aid Office will work with you to adjust the plan as needed. During the re-evaluation period, if progress is not being made toward your academic plan, your financial aid will be suspended.

Denied Appeal

If your financial aid eligibility is determined to be ineligible and/or your appeal is denied, you may regain eligibility by meeting the three SAP minimum standards. Once you have done so, please email finaid@easternflorida.edu or call 321-433-7339 we will review for potential reinstatement. In addition if your aid is suspended, please reach out to the Financial Aid Office regarding other options to finance your education at 麻豆视频.
