Schools are allowed to use “professional judgment” in certain cases to re-evaluate a student’s award and/or Expected Family Contribution. Some examples include: loss of a job, 薪水减少, 家庭地位的变化, 不寻常的医疗费用, 等. If your family has endured one of these, 或者类似的困难, please contact the Financial 援助 Office at (电子邮件保护) or (502) 863-8027 for more information.

Students who qualify and choose to live off-campus may have financial awards (from institutional monies) adjusted. Georgetown College is a residential college and all students with few exceptions are expected to live on campus.

In order to continue eligibility for receipt of financial assistance, the following criteria apply:

1. 学术资格: Specific GPAs are required to renew scholarships each year. Students have a full year in which to make the required average.

2. 令人满意的学业进展

   Federal regulations mandate that a student must maintain 令人满意的学业进展 (SAP) in his/her course of study regardless of whether or not financial aid is awarded each semester.

   To receive and to continue receiving financial aid, students must meet the following Financial 援助 令人满意的学业进展 Standards:

   • 定量: Earn at least 10 hours of college credit in every semester attended as a full-time student, regardless of the number of hours attempted. This standard is pro-rated for part-time students. Please refer to the SAP hours chart for specific information about hours standards (This information is given by years enrolled; to determine the semester hours standard, divide the hours earned per year by two.) Repeating a course will count toward hours earned if:  (1) the student earns a passing grade, and (2) the course has not been counted previously toward hours earned.
     • 第一年至少挣20个小时
     • Second year earn at least 40 hours
     • 第三年至少工作60小时
     • Fourth year earn at least 80 hours

   • 最长时间范围: Have attempted fewer than 150% of the credits required for the student’s declared program of study. (Federal regulations effective July 1, 2011 require all students to be evaluated to determine if they are on track to receive their intended credential before aid is lost due to Maximum Time Frame. 这被称为“速度推进”.")
      

Your academic progress will be monitored throughout the semester AND your progression throughout your degree. Failure to maintain or exceed the above standards could jeopardize your future financial aid eligibility or cause you to owe funds 回来 to the school. 

If you have failed to meet SAP, you have the right to submit an appeal. Students may establish an academic plan and write an SAP appeal letter with the approval of the Director of Academic Success, and with the 财务规划 Office. 如果SAP上诉被批准, the student will be assigned a Financial 援助 SAP Probation status and will be given an academic plan of action that stipulates certain conditions and academic requirements be met.  Upon acceptance of the academic plan of action, the student may receive financial aid for one to two additional terms.  The SAP Appeal Approval process is not complete and financial aid awards will not be made until the Financial 援助 Office receives the academic plan of action and SAP appeal letter from the student.

At the end of the next term, the student’s status will be re-evaluated.  Federal student aid for the next term will not be awarded or disbursed until the student successfully completes all terms specified within the academic plan of action or meets SAP requirements.

If the student fails to meet the terms of his or her plan of action or overall SAP requirements, he or she is not eligible for federal student aid. The student will remain ineligible until they are again in compliance with SAP standards.  These students may continue to attend college at their own expense.

 

覆核及上诉程序

Students may establish an academic plan with the approval of the Director for Academic Success, and with the Student 财务规划 Office. Based on approved forward-progress goals, satisfactory academic progress for financial assistance may be approved and aid re-established. The following procedure is required is separate from academic procedures.

1. An academic plan and appeal letter should be established (as noted above) and sent to the Director of Student 财务规划 by the end of the second week of the semester in which the student’s SAP (令人满意的学业进展) probation begins. Exceptions to this policy may be made at the discretion of the institution.
2. Student’s satisfactory academic progress will be reviewed at the end of each academic/payment period to ensure forward progress is being made and academic goals are met. In the event the academic plan goal is not reached, the student will not be permitted to receive Title IV funding. The Director will review the appeal and notify the student accordingly.
