Academic progress for financial aid will be evaluated quarterly, prior to the disbursement of quarterly awards. Satisfactory Academic Progress is determined by the following requirements:
 
1. GPA Requirements: The financial aid recipient is expected to maintain the same minimum grade point average as any other student enrolled at ECTC. The method for determining the GPA is found in the Student Handbook. The minimum grade point average is 2.00. Students failing to maintain a 2.00 cumulative GPA will be placed on academic probation. Students have one quarter to remove themselves from academic probation by raising their GPA to the minimum or higher. Financial Aid will be extended for this probation quarter for classes not previously taken. Students who do not raise their cumulative GPA by the end of the second quarter will be academically dismissed and their financial aid program terminated.

2. Requirements for Credit Hours Attempted: In addition to meeting the requirements defined above, the financial aid recipient must satisfactorily complete three-fourths (3/4) of the credit hours attmepted each quarter to remain eligible for financial aid. Students failing to earn the necessary credit hours will be placed on financial aid probation. Students will be allowed one quarter with financial aid to earn the minimum number of credit hours or they will have their financial aid terminated at the end of that quarter.

Satisfactory grades are defined in the Academic Regulations section of the Student Handbook. A grade of "S" in Developmental Studies shall be considered as satisfactory. Grades of I, W, WP, and WF are counted as coursework attempted but are not included in the cumulative GPA.
 


3. Time Frame: Students must complete their educational objective within a maximum time frame of one-and-a-half times the length of the program in which they are enrolled. This means that students will no longer be eligible to receive financial aid once they have attempted one and a half times the minimum number of credit hours required for graduation in the program enrolled.
