学业进展满意(SAP)

联邦法律要求所有接受经济援助的学生取得令人满意的学业进步(SAP). The Office of Financial 援助 monitors your SAP at the end of every semester. If you do not meet the requirements for SAP, 您有权提出上诉,并提供有关可能阻碍您进步的情有可原情况的信息. Appeals are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. 请注意,SAP和个人经济援助计划资格的最低入学要求可能会有所不同.

There are three components to 学业进展满意(SAP). Failure to comply with any component may result in a loss of aid eligibility. 这三个组成部分如下:

1. Minimum Financial 援助 Grade Point Average (GPA) – Qualitative Measurement

  • HSU Hours 6-32: one must maintain a cumulative GPA of 1.60
  • HSU Hours 33-48: one must maintain a cumulative GPA of 1.80
  • HSU Hours 49 or more: one must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2:00
  • Graduate: one must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00

All graded courses are included in this calculation, including failed courses. This could be different from the academic GPA. The academic GPA is used to determine HSU scholarships and institutional aid.

2. Completion Rate (Pace) – Quantitative Measurement *Change from 75% to 67% was approved on February 15, 2023.  22 Summer and 22 秋天 calculations reflect the previous policy.  23 Spring calculations will include the updated policy change.

While students are expected to enroll full-time to be eligible for financial aid, each student must successfully complete a minimum percentage of all credit hours attempted. This percentage includes all institutional and transfer credit hours, regardless of whether or not financial aid was received.

  • 学生至少要挣到 67% of the credit hours which they attempt for each program level (undergraduate, 学士学位阶段后的, 或研究生学历).

This component is measured at the conclusion of each semester (summer, 秋季和春季),并使用总转学时数以及在HSU完成的时数除以总尝试时数来计算. 在确定SAP时,退学和退学被视为未成功完成课程,并将影响完成率. All repeated and remedial courses are calculated in this quantitative measure.

All Pace calculations are rounded up or down to the nearest full percentage (e.g. 0.664被舍入到66%和0.665四舍五入到67%)

3. 150% Maximum Credit Hours – Max Time Frame

学生应在最长时间内完成学位学习,并且最多可获得完成学习计划所需尝试学分的150%的资助. Transfer credits are included in the attempted hours calculation.

Credit hours are cumulative; thus, students working towards obtaining more than one degree in the same category (e.g., 双学位, 本科护理)可能在完成他们的课程学习之前达到这个最大时间框架,并且可能需要上诉资格.

The HSU Office of Financial 援助 monitors student’s SAP at the end of every semester (Summer, 秋天, 春天).  GPA’s are assessed at the end of each semester except for the first semester for first-time freshmen. Student’s minimum pace for making SAP (i.e.(定量进展)为67%.

Students who fail to meet minimum SAP standards are not eligible to receive financial aid. 学生将通过发送到HSU电子邮件地址的电子邮件以及自助服务门户网站被告知失去资格的原因.

After one semester of not meeting the SAP standards, students will be issued a warning and will be permitted to receive financial aid for the next semester. 然而, 在一个学期的警告之后, 未能满足任何一个或多个SAP组成部分的学生将没有资格获得经济援助.

Students may appeal ineligibility by providing information on extenuating circumstances, indicating what has changed to allow successful academic progress.

如果上诉被批准, 学生可能会获得经济援助试用期,并可能被要求遵循一项学术计划,以便在不久的将来达到最低的SAP要求. If students do not meet the terms of probation, eligibility for financial aid will cease and all remaining aid will be cancelled. Subsequent appeals of the same nature are not permitted. Once a student falls from his/her academic plan and loses eligibility, the only way to regain eligibility for financial aid is to meet the SAP requirements.

学生可以通过提供导致他们低于令人满意的学业进步标准的情有可原的情况的信息来上诉. As part of the appeal process, students should explain:

  • 为什么他们没能满足SAP;
  • what has changed in the student’s situation; and
  • 将利用哪些校园或其他资源,使学生在未来达到令人满意的学术进步标准

*Supporting documentation of extenuating circumstances may be asked to be included with appeals.

Examples of documentation include but are not limited to:

  • 中文博彩平台paper obituaries or death certificates to substantiate deaths
  • Physician’s written statement to substantiate illness or accident
  • Written statement from clergy, family member, or other third party who knows the student’s situation
  • Written statement from academic advisor or professor

提交上诉只是一个请求,并不能保证经济援助资格将被恢复. The appeal must be submitted online through the 门户网站 or appeals may be submitted to the attention of the Financial 援助 Appeals Committee (financialaid@c-midori.net),并且必须在秋季学期开学第一天和春季学期开学第一天之前收到.

如果上诉被批准, 学生可能会获得经济援助试用期,并被要求遵循一项学术计划,以便在不久的将来达到最低的SAP要求. If students do not meet the terms of probation, eligibility for financial aid will cease and all remaining aid will be cancelled. Subsequent appeals of the same nature are not permitted. Once a student falls from his/her academic plan and loses eligibility, the only way to regain eligibility for financial aid is to meet the SAP requirements.

在SAP评估后对记录成绩的更改将包含在下一个学期结束时的下一个正式SAP评估中. If a grading error is corrected after the SAP evaluation was completed or if an incomplete grade is updated, students may contact our office by phone, 电子邮件, or in person to request a recalculation of SAP status using the corrected grade.

什么是SAP? -令人满意的学业进展(SAP)意味着你在完成学位方面取得了令人满意的进展,包括定性(GPA)和定量(进度和最大时间框架)措施.  根据联邦学生援助(FSA)规定,HSU财政援助办公室至少每年完成一次审查.  在许, a student’s SAP status will be reviewed at the end of each enrollment term (fall semester (December), 春季学期(5月), 夏季学期(8月), after grades are transcripted by the 注册处.  Semesterly review allows students a warning semester and time for improvement.  All enrollment terms must be considered in the determination of SAP, even enrollment terms for which the student did not receive financial aid.
