Federal regulations require each College to establish and consistently apply both a qualitative and quantitative method of measuring a student’s progress toward degree/program completion. Students are required to meet such standards in order to be eligible for federal, state, and institutional aid programs. These standards measure a student’s performance in the following three areas: completion rate, cumulative Bellin GPA and maximum time allowed. The following is the SAP policy applied to all students enrolled at and receiving financial aid from Bellin College it is effective for all enrollments. Please note: that SAP standards for financial aid are separate from academic standards set by the College.
General Guidelines
- Unless otherwise noted, Physical Therapy students are subject to identical standards under this policy.
- SAP will be checked by the Director of Financial Aid at the end of each enrollment term, including summer and interim terms.
- Students may be placed on financial aid warning or probation but not on academic probation or vice versa. See the student handbook for more information on academic Probation.
- It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the Registrar receives an official transcript for all transfer courses at the end of each enrollment term. An official transcript must be submitted within four weeks of the last day of completing the course.
- Students are subject to the SAP policy of the College or university awarding financial aid. The Director of Financial Aid will track the SAP status of all students, including those receiving aid through other Colleges. However, students will not be subject to the Bellin College policy until applied for and received through Bellin College. Eligibility for first enrollment term aid through Bellin College will be based on the student’s SAP status as of the most recently completed enrollment term. For example, SAP status for a student who first receives aid fall of junior year will be based upon the SAP record as of the end of his or her sophomore year. Therefore, it is possible for a student to be placed on financial aid warning for his or her first enrollment term receiving aid through Bellin College.
