Academic Progress

Standard of Satisfactory Academic Progress for Federal and Institutional Financial Aid

To be eligible for federal and institutional financial aid, students at Mount Aloysius College must be making satisfactory academic progress towards their diploma or degree as defined below. Federal student aid includes Federal PELL Grant, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study Program, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal Stafford Student Loan, Federal
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, Nursing Loan, and Federal PLUS Loan.

Time Frame

Mount Aloysius expects students enrolled in diploma or degree programs will complete all required course work within a given amount of time; therefore, students may receive financial aid for a maximum number of semesters as shown
below:

Type of Program	Normal # of Semesters to Complete	Maximum # Semesters of Aid
1 year diploma	2	3
2 year associate's degree	4	6
4 year bachelor's	8	10
Physically challenged students associate's degree bachelor's degree	6 10	8 12

Standards of Progress

Once diploma students have completed one semester of enrollment and degree students have completed two semesters of enrollment, their academic records will be reviewed on a regular basis to determine whether they are making satisfactory academic progress as shown below. During each two semesters (normally one academic year), students will be required to complete a minimum number of credits, depending on the type of program. This review will be done each time final grades are posted.

Progress is checked two ways depending on when you started full-time enrollment. For example: if you begin the fall semester, your progress will be checked at the end of the spring semester. At this time, you must have maintained satisfactory progress in order to receive aid for the following academic year. If you begin in the spring, your progress will be checked at the end of the following fall semester. At that time, you must have maintained satisfactory progress in order to receive aid for the upcoming spring and fall semesters.

Any dropped, repeated or failed credits are not counted toward progress. Credits dropped, repeated or failed need to be taken during the summer sessions to ensure continuance of financial aid.
