1. 定性测量定义

定性测量可以概括为每年一次的累积平均绩点(GPA)，在春季学期结束时或每个批准的试用付款期之后测量. The minimum GPA requirement depends on a student’s career/degree level i.e., associates, certificate, bachelors, masters, and doctoral. Regardless of how many times the student changes majors within a given degree, the minimum GPA is cumulative until the student pursues a different degree. 如果不符合定性衡量标准，经济援助将被暂停，除非学生遵循SFA上诉程序中的步骤并批准上诉，否则学生将继续失去资格, or the student corrects their deficiency on their own. The university requires all undergraduate students to obtain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 to graduate. All graduate students must obtain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 to graduate.

2. 定量测量定义

所有学生的量化指标可以概括为成功完成的总学时数除以尝试的总学时数. This includes semesters during which federal aid was not received by the student as well as all applicable transfer hours.

Financial aid recipients must satisfactorily complete at least 67% of all cumulative credit hours attempted. Grades of A, B, C, D, F, W, WF, ATNF, I, INC, IP, S, U, NGR, and NC are considered in the quantitative measure*. Grades of A, B, C, D, IP (for graduate students completing thesis or dissertation), P and S are considered satisfactory grades. 所有其他成绩，如F, I, INC, U, WF, W, ATNF, NC, NGR, and IP are considered unsatisfactory grades.

Note: Audited classes (letter grade: AUD) are not counted within this policy. No credit is being offered for an audited class; therefore, no financial aid can be provided.

Financial aid is suspended if the quantitative measurement is not met, 除非学生遵循SFA上诉程序中的步骤并且上诉被批准，否则学生将保持不合格, or the student corrects his or her deficiency on their own.

*Per the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), Pub. L. No. 116-136 and as a result of the COVID-19 national emergency, grades of F, I, INC, IP, U and NC will be excluded from the student’s annual SAP audit quantitative measure this year and in all future audits. This exclusion only applies to the career (UG/Grad) courses that were actively in session as of March 13, 2020 (i.e.2020年春季15周^nd 2020年春季7周).

3. 定义的最大时间框架度量

A student is expected to complete a degree/certificate program within a prescribed time frame. 对于本科课程，时间框架不能超过以尝试学分计算的公布时间的150%. For instance, if the published length of an undergraduate degree is 120 credit hours, the maximum period must not exceed 180 (120 x 1.5) credit hours.

BGSU applies the 150% time frame measure to undergraduate, graduate, certificate, 还有执照计划. Regardless of how many times the student changes majors within a given degree, the maximum time frame is cumulative until the student pursues a different degree.

Financial aid is suspended if the maximum time frame for a degree is exceeded, or the student will exceed the given time frame for their degree in the upcoming school year. 除非学生遵循SFA上诉程序中的步骤并且上诉被批准，否则学生将保持不合格, or the student corrects his or her deficiency on their own.

*Per the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), Pub. L. No. 116-136 and as a result of the COVID-19 national emergency, grades of F, I, INC, IP, U and NC will be excluded from the student’s annual SAP audit quantitative measure this year and in all future audits. This exclusion only applies to the career (UG/Grad) courses that were actively in session as of March 13, 2020 (i.e.2020年春季15周^nd 2020年春季7周).

If you approach your maximum time frame and have not finished your degree, you must submit  (1) SAP Appeal (2) degree plan indicating what courses and credit hours you will need to complete your program and (3) Student Financial Aid SAP Maximum Time Frame Form.

4. 政策的变化

学术宽恕

Any credit hours and/or GPA associated with a student’s academic forgiveness, granted in accordance with university policy, shall be considered when determining a student’s satisfactory progress.

不完整的成绩

It is a possibility for students to have their SAP status re-evaluated. 当未完成的课程成绩变为分级课程时，学生必须联系SFA办公室，以确定他们的下一步行动

监测时间间隔

在每个春季学期结束或学生申请经济援助(完成FAFSA)时，应每年监测学生的学业进展情况。. If a student is placed on financial aid probation with an Academic Plan, because of appealing their SAP status, 他们的进度将在一个付款期后进行审查，以确定他们是否符合其学术计划的所有条款和条件, 包括夏天. 如果他们符合学术计划的所有条款和条件，他们的试用状态将持续到下学期，并在下一个付款期结束时再次进行审查. If a student is academically suspended between monitoring periods, their financial aid will also be suspended and must be reassessed when the student is readmitted to the University.

大学学分加(CCP)

Course credit taken under a CCP program, 或同等课程, must be counted within the qualitative, quantitative, and maximum time frame measures of this policy.

Reinstatement of 经济援助资格

Periods of non-enrollment or paying for school at one’s own expense, does not automatically qualify a student to receive federal and state financial aid again in a subsequent semester. 在满足本政策的所有要求之前，通过消除所有令人满意的进步缺陷，或者通过对其令人满意的学术进步状况提出上诉并获得批准，学生可以重新获得资格.

补救课程

Remedial coursework credits are included within this policy. Students may only take up to 30 credit hours of remedial coursework. Remedial coursework is graded on an S /U basis and does not count as letter-graded hours. Therefore, remedial coursework is not considered in the qualitative measure. Remedial coursework is, however, included in the quantitative and maximum time frame measures.

Repeated Courses

学生可以获得联邦基金，以重复以前在一个项目中学习的课程，但不得重复超过一次以前通过的课程, or any repetition of a previously passed course due to the student’s failing other coursework. All retake registration hours will be counted in the quantitative and maximum time frame measures.

Transfer Credits

Transfer credits are included in the calculation of quantitative measure (attempted and earned credits), 以及最大时间框架. Transfer credits are not included in the qualitative measure (cumulative GPA).

退课

如前所述, the entire academic history is reviewed to ensure reasonable progress toward graduation. W, WF, and ATN grades are included in the quantitative measurement of this policy. The more classes a student withdraws from, the more likely the chances of not completing 67% of all hours attempted. An example of how a grade of W, WF, and/or ATN can affect a student’s progress follows:

Fall semester a freshman student receives the following grades:

This student has successfully completed 12 credit hours and attempted 12 credit hours. 12/12 = 100% successful completion rate fall semester.

Spring semester the same freshman student receives the following grades:

This student has only successfully completed 3 credit hours and attempted 15 credit hours. 3/15 = 20% successful completion rate spring semester.

When the total academic history for the student is reviewed:

• 秋季完成的总学时 & spring =15
• 尝试总学时= 27
• 定量测量= 15/27 = 55%
• In this example, 这个学生将不符合令人满意的学术进步政策，因为67%的量化衡量标准没有得到满足.

This student is not progressing toward graduation in a reasonable time frame and financial aid will be suspended. 除非学生遵循SFA上诉程序中的步骤并且上诉被批准，否则学生将保持不合格, or the student corrects their deficiency at their own expense.

试用状态

If a student is not maintaining financial aid satisfactory academic progress at the end of spring semester, they are ineligible for most forms of financial aid as previously listed in the beginning of the SAP policy page. 通知将通过美国邮件和/或BGSU电子邮件发送给学生，通知学生他们的学术缺陷以及上诉过程. 34 CFR §668.34 (a)(11) A student may follow the appeal process asking to be reinstated to an aid eligible status. An approved appeal will result in the assignment of an Academic Plan as outlined by SFA. Upon acceptance of a signed 令人满意的学业进展 Academic Plan, 该学生将处于试用状态，并有资格在一个付款期内获得联邦和州的援助.

6. 上诉程序

当确定学生未能达到任何一项或多项令人满意的学业进展(SAP)标准时，将通过美国邮件和/或BGSU电子邮件向学生发送通知. 如果有情有可依的情况，保证学生在试用期继续接受联邦和州的援助/资金，可以提交上诉. Extenuating circumstances may include, 除此之外, 学生受伤或生病, 更换工作, or death or illness of a family member.

• All appeals and supporting documentation will be reviewed by a committee.
• 成功的申诉将导致分配学术计划的委员会和资格的试用期持续一个付款期.
• 所有申诉都必须包含有关学生为什么没有做出SAP的信息，以及学生的情况发生了什么变化，这些变化将允许学生在下一次评估中展示SAP.
• SFA保留要求提供额外文件以核实上诉中描述的情有可原的情况的权利. 学生有举证责任证明其不符合政策中规定的要求.

An approved appeal will result in a 令人满意的学业进展 Academic Plan and may include:

1. Expected GPA to accomplish by the end of the probationary payment period
2. Expected number of credit hours to complete by the end of the probationary payment period
3. 学术顾问认证表(最大时间框架引用)上所示的最大额外学时数

If the appeal is not approved, that decision is final. The student's eligibility for financial aid would remain suspended at BGSU. 学生可以通过完成课程并根据上述定性和/或定量标准使其学习成绩达到良好水平来重新获得获得资助的资格.

Appeal Committee

Students who submit a 令人满意的学业进展 appeal will have their submission reviewed by an appeals committee. The appeals committee has the final authority to determine if financial aid will be extended or denied to a student. The decision of this committee is final and cannot be appealed. The committee will respond to the student in writing of their decision. The student will not meet with the appeals committee. All correspondence will be conducted in writing by mail or email.
