Federal regulations require
that a student attending an educational institution maintains satisfactory
academic progress in the degree program they are pursuing in order to receive
federal financial assistance. The purpose of these regulations is to ensure
that limited federal financial assistance is disbursed only to those students
sincere about pursuing and obtaining their educational objectives.
In order to comply with
these federal regulations, Clarkson College has established certain standards
of satisfactory academic progress. All continuing and former students who apply
for financial aid must meet the academic standards listed below before federal
assistance is certified and disbursed to the student.
The progress for each
student will be verified with official Clarkson College enrollment records at
the completion of each semester. To meet satisfactory academic progress, a
student must meet the following standards:
Undergraduate Standards
1.
An undergraduate student
must maintain a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 2.0 on a 4.0
scale.
2.
An undergraduate
student must successfully complete at least 66 percent of total semester hours
attempted. Grades of D (in support and major course requirements), F,
Incomplete (I), Withdrawl (W, WF, WP) and No Pass (NP) are not considered
successful.
3.
A student, pursuing
an undergraduate degree at Clarkson College, may not receive financial
assistance when the student has attempted more than 72 credit hours toward a
Diploma in Practical Nursing, 108 credit hours toward an associate's degree, or
194 credit hours toward a baccalaureate degree. The total number of credit
hours includes courses taken at other institutions, which are applied to
Clarkson College degree requirements.
