STUDENT INFORMATION
Students on a Financial Aid PROBATION status are required to meet the following conditions to be eligible to receive financial aid for the subsequent semester:
– Semester GPA must be equal to the cumulative GPA standard
– Semester PACE completion rate requirement of 67%
– Other conditions as outlined in the student’s ACADEMIC PLAN
Students who meet the objectives outlined in their academic plan and the GPA and PACE completion rate requirements during their Financial Aid
PROBATION period remain eligible to receive financial aid. Students remain on the academic plan until they once again meet all Satisfactory Academic Progress
standards. Note: A student’s academic plan must be reviewed by the student and the academic advisor each semester and revised as needed.
Students who fail to meet the objectives outlined in their academic plan or the GPA or PACE completion rate requirements during their Financial Aid
PROBATION period become ineligible to receive student financial aid and can only regain their eligibility by once again fully meeting all Satisfactory
Academic Progress Quantitative and Qualitative standards.
A student is only eligible to submit one Satisfactory Academic Progress appeal as an undergraduate student and one as a graduate student.
The appeal form can be found at http://www.calumet.purdue.edu/finaid/SAPAPPEAL.pdf
Transition to new policy. A student who (1) had an appeal approved under the previous Satisfactory Academic Progress policy; (2) was enrolled during the 2010-2011
academic year; (3) earned a semester GPA equal to the cumulative GPA standard as outlined in the newSatisfactory Academic Progress policy during their last semester of
enrollment at PUC; (4) has a semester PACE completion rate of 67%or greater during their last semester of enrollment at PUC; and (5) is within the maximum timeframe,
will automatically be placed on a Financial Aid PROBATION status beginning with the Fall 2011 semester and be required to workwith his/her academic advisor to develop
an ACADEMIC PLAN that moves the student toward meeting the Satisfactory Academic Progress Qualitative and Quantitative standards. Students will receive an email
notification as to their revised status. Students not enrolled during the 2010-2011 academic year should contact our office with respect to their status.
RE-ESTABLISHING ELIGIBILITY WITHOUT AN APPROVAL APPEAL
Other than when an appeal is approved for unusual or mitigating circumstances and a student is placed on an academic plan, a student may re-establish eligibility by
taking action that brings the student into compliance with the qualitative and quantitative components of the school’s Satisfactory Academic Progress standard,
including the maximum time frame. A student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress status is reviewed at the completion of each semester, including summer.
REGAINING YOUR STUDENT FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY
A student may be awarded Federal Pell Grants, Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, and State financial aid (Frank O’Bannon Grant,
Twenty-First Century Scholarship, etc.) for the payment period in which the student resumes Satisfactory Academic Progress or as the result of an approved appeal. For
Federal Direct Loans the student regains eligibility for the entire period of enrollment in which the student again meets Satisfactory Academic Progress standards. Other
rules and regulations governing federal and student financial aid programs still apply.
This policy pertains to applicants for federal, state of Indiana, and Purdue University Calumet-controlled aid programs, including most student loan programs. If you have questions about the monitoring of
Satisfactory Academic Progress not addressed in this policy please contact the Office of Financial Aid at 219/989-2301.
Note: Students retaking coursework will have their Title IV financial aid eligibility reviewed by the Office of Financial Aid and Student Accounts.
