Ohio Admin. Code 3341-3-54
Satisfactory academic progress - to be eligible for federal student aid funds, a student must make satisfactory academic progress in both qualitative and quantitative criteria.
Financial aid academic progress is assessed according to qualitative, quantitative and maximum time frame measures that are described within this policy. All measures must be met for continued aid eligibility. Students failing to meet any single measure of satisfactory academic policy may request re-consideration through an appeal process. This policy assesses all students equally regardless of enrollment status hours. SFA will evaluate SAP annually, place students on probation who are not meeting any one or more of the standard measures for assessment, and require students to fulfill the terms of an academic plan to qualify for further funds.
When it is determined a student has failed to meet any one or more measures of SAP, the student's financial aid eligibility will be suspended. Appeals may be submitted if there are mitigating circumstances that warrant a student to continue to receive funds. Appeals must be submitted by the following dates to be considered for eligibility for that semester:
SFA has the final authority to determine if financial aid will be extended or denied to a student. Decisions made by an SFA counselor or the SFA committee are conclusive and cannot be appealed.
