(Through summer 2009.)
To measure a student's completion rate, divide SCSU cumulative credits successfully completed by SCSU credits attempted. This standard will include all academic terms of attempted SCSU enrollment at a student's current admission status.
Undergraduate: To remain eligible for financial aid, an undergraduate student is required to progress toward the completion of an academic program by successfully completing the following minimum percent of all SCSU credits attempted:
0-30 credits 60%
31 or more credits 67%
EXAMPLE 1: Jason attended SCSU for three terms and attempted a total of 45 credits during that time. After three terms, he has earned 39 credits and has six credits of withdrawal. To determine his percentage of credits completed, Jason would divide the credits he earned (39) by the credits he attempted (45). Jason's completion rate would be 86 percent; therefore, he would be eligible for financial aid because his 86 percent completion rate exceeds the minimum completion rate requirement of 67 percent.
EXAMPLE 2: Ann attended SCSU for two terms and attempted a total of 32 credits during the two terms. After two terms, she has earned 20 credits, has eight credits of F and four credits of withdrawal. To determine her percentage of credits completed, Ann would divide the credits she earned (20) by the credits she attempted (32). Ann's completion rate would be 62 percent; therefore, she would be ineligible for financial aid because her 62 percent completion rate is less than the minimum completion rate of 67 percent.
Post-baccalaureate/Graduate/Doctoral: To remain eligible for financial aid, students pursuing another undergraduate degree, certificate, licensure, masters or doctoral degree, are required to progress toward completion of a program by successfully completing at least 75 percent of all SCSU credits attempted at their current admission status.
