FinAnCiAl Aid<br />
Federal regulations require <strong>UMUC</strong> <strong>Europe</strong> to track the<br />
academic progress of financial aid recipients from the first date<br />
of enrollment at <strong>UMUC</strong> <strong>Europe</strong> whether or not financial aid<br />
was received at that time.<br />
Credits transferred from another institution will be considered<br />
as attempted and completed credits in the evaluation of the<br />
150 percent program completion standard and the cumulative<br />
completion rate.<br />
Students who exceed the 150 percent time frame for any<br />
reason will be placed on Financial Aid Denied, not Financial<br />
Aid Probation, status. No financial aid will be disbursed for<br />
the student during subsequent terms unless the student has<br />
made an appeal of the Financial Aid Denied status and the<br />
appeal is granted.<br />

Repeated Coursework<br />
Audit (Au)<br />
An audit (AU) grade is not considered attempted coursework.<br />
It is not included in the GPA calculation or completion rate<br />
determinations.<br />
Course Withdrawals (W)<br />
Course withdrawals are not included in the GPA calculation,<br />
but are considered noncompletion of attempted coursework.<br />
F/Fn<br />
F/FN grades will be treated as attempted credits that were<br />
not earned, and will therefore be included both in the GPA<br />
calculation and minimum completion rate. This is true for<br />
both F grades (failed academic) and for FN grades (failed due<br />
to non-attendance).<br />
g (grade pending)<br />
The mark of G (grade pending) will not be included in the<br />
GPA calculation and will be considered noncompletion of<br />
attempted coursework until a grade is assigned and academic<br />
progress can be re-evaluated.<br />
incomplete (i)<br />
Incomplete grades are not included in the GPA calculation,<br />
but are considered noncompletion of attempted coursework<br />
until the incomplete is replaced with a permanent grade and<br />
academic progress can be re-evaluated.<br />
satisfactory (s)<br />
A satisfactory grade (S) is treated as attempted credits which<br />
are earned, but not included in the GPA calculation.<br />

Repeated Courses<br />
UndERGRAdUATE CATALoG | 2009-2010<br />
The highest grade earned in a course that is repeated will<br />
count in the GPA calculation, but every repeated attempt will<br />
be included in the completion rate determinations. Please<br />
note that no financial aid can be disbursed for a repeated<br />
attempt if the student already has achieved a passing grade<br />
for that course; however, <strong>UMUC</strong>’s policy allows students to<br />
receive aid for one repeat of a course.<br />
Financial Aid Probation status<br />
Students who fail to meet the minimum 2.0 cumulative<br />
grade point average standard or fail to meet the minimum<br />
66 percent completion rate will be placed on Financial<br />
Aid Probation status. They will remain on probation for<br />
subsequent terms of enrollment until the next Satisfactory<br />
Academic Progress evaluation in January, June, and August<br />
of each year. Financial aid can be received during the term<br />
of probation. Financial aid disbursements for the next<br />
period of enrollment will be held until the grades and course<br />
completions have been reviewed for the term of Financial Aid<br />
Probation.<br />
Students receiving financial aid for the first time will be placed<br />
on Financial Aid Probation if they do not meet the minimum<br />
grade point average or minimum completion rate for any<br />
prior enrollment at <strong>UMUC</strong>.<br />
Financial Aid denied status<br />
Students on Financial Aid Probation or Financial Aid Denied<br />
status who fail to maintain the minimum completion rate<br />
and/or who fail to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or<br />
better will be placed on Financial Aid Denied status for<br />
the following period of enrollment. No financial aid will<br />
be disbursed during subsequent terms until the student is<br />
removed from Financial Aid Denied status.<br />
Students who fail to satisfy the 150 percent requirement will<br />
also be placed on Financial Aid Denied status. No aid will<br />
be disbursed during subsequent terms unless the student has<br />
made an appeal and the appeal is granted for that term. There<br />
are no exceptions to this requirement. Students, for example,<br />
in a 120-credit bachelor’s degree program who have attempted<br />
in excess of 180 credits, including transfer credits, are no<br />
longer eligible for financial aid. There is no probationary<br />
period.
