Standards for Satisfactory <strong>Academic</strong><br />
Progress (SAP)<br />
All NECI programs have a required curriculum. The<br />
schedule of classes is predetermined. With the<br />
exception of elective courses, students are not required<br />
to sign up for individual courses. Remedial assistance<br />
is available but it is not credit bearing. In order to earn<br />
semester credits for any course, a student must achieve<br />
a Meets Standard, Exceeds Standard, A, B, or C grade.<br />
Credits are not awarded for Incomplete grades until the<br />
student demonstrates attainment of all course<br />
standards; credits are not awarded for Retake grades<br />
until the course is rescheduled and the student<br />
demonstrates attainment of all course standards.<br />
Transfer credit is included in the calculation of<br />
Satisfactory <strong>Academic</strong> Progress (as both attempted and<br />
completed credits), but is not used in the calculation of<br />
grade average.<br />
Students are required to complete a predetermined<br />
number of semester credit hours or clock hours within<br />
a specific time period, and must work toward program<br />
completion within the maximum time frame calculated<br />

prohibited from attending regular classes and be<br />
required to work exclusively on an <strong>Academic</strong> Plan<br />
focusing on incomplete coursework. Students must<br />
attain academic progress as documented above within<br />
four weeks. Students who do not achieve the required<br />

discretion and according to the reinstatement policy<br />

progress are not eligible for federal or state financial<br />
aid. Any student who has lost federal or state financial<br />
aid due to unsatisfactory academic progress has the<br />
opportunity to appeal. Documentation of medical or<br />
other unusual circumstances must be provided. All<br />
appeals are considered on a case-by-case basis and<br />
