COLUMBIA-GREENE COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2012-2013 CATALOG
After a graduation check has been
completed, a new count of credits
attempted will be determined based on the
credits completed that satisfy requirements
in the new curriculum. For example, if a
student has attempted 60 credits but only
30 earned credits will satisfy requirements
in the new curriculum, the count of the
attempted credits will be reset from 60 to
30. The student will have a new maximum
of 60 additional credits to complete the
new curriculum.
mAximUm time frAme for
ComPLetion
Federal regulations require C-GCC to set
a time frame for completion of a degree or
certifcate not to exceed 150 percent of the
normal requirements of that program.
For purposes of Title IV fnancial aid
(Pell, FSEOG, FCWS, and Stafford
loans), the college defnes the maximum
number of attempted hours for completion
of a two-year degree to be 93 credits, or
150 percent of the required credits for
that particular degree. The maximum
number of attempted hours for a one-year
certifcate is 45 credits, or 150 percent
of the required credits for that particular
certifcate.
The college will review each student’s
eligibility at the end of each semester.
If at that time less than 150 percent of
the course work has been attempted, the
student will be considered to be making
progress and will be eligible for Title IV
aid for the following semester.
