Financial Aid Certificate of Understanding: standards of Satisfactory Progress

If a student does not: The Financial Aid Office will:

1. Satisfactorily complete 67% of all TCC units (credits) beginning with and continually forward from the halfway (1/2) point of his/her current academic plan (curriculum).

Note:
This applies regardless of whether or not he/she previously received financial aid at TCC.

Courses with a grade of A, B, C, D, P, S, or R are considered satisfactory for financial aid purposes and are included in this calculation.

Courses with a grade of F, W, U, I, X, or XN are considered unsatisfactory for financial aid purposes and are included in this calculation.

Developmental and English as a Second Language (ESL) courses are included in this calculation.

1. Place the student on Financial Aid Suspension; the student will not be eligible for financial aid until he/she has satisfactorily completed 67% of the units (credits) he/she has enrolled in, and meets all of the College’s Standards of Academic Progress.
If a student does not: The Financial Aid Office will:

2. Complete his/her current academic plan (curriculum) by the end of 150% of the academic plan (curriculum) length, regardless of whether or not he/she previously received any financial aid.

Note:
Transfer credits are included in determining the number of semesters the student has been at the College.

If the student changes his/her academic plan (curriculum), he/she will not necessarily be granted additional time to receive financial aid at TCC.

Developmental and English as a Second Language (ESL) courses are not included in this calculation.

2. Place the student on Financial Aid Suspension; the student will not be eligible for financial aid and must complete the academic plan (curriculum) at his/her own expense.

3. Maintain the minimum cumulative G.P.A. in accordance with the following schedule:

 

Units Attempted
Cum. G.P.A.
9-24
1.00

1.50
48 +
2.00

Please see an academic counselor for clarification of the College’s Standards of Academic Progress.

3. Enroll for courses at his/her own expense until the minimum cumulative G.P.A. is met.

Note:

For Satisfactory Academic Progress the "Total Units Attempted" are equal to the total number of units (credits) the student has enrolled in, to include repeat units, minus the Developmental and/or the ESL units.

The College's Academic Renewal Policy will have no affect on the total number of units (credits) the student has attempted for financial aid purposes.

 
Financial Aid will pay for a maximum of 30 developmental units (credits).  A student enrolling in more than 30 developmental units (credits) will be required to pay for the additional developmental courses him/herself.
