SAP Procedures

Only grades of A, B, C, D, EL, CC and CE will be counted as hours successfully completed. Grades of F, I, and W will not count as hours successfully completed but will count as hours attempted. An Incomplete will not count as hours earned until a successful grade has been posted.

CCC will evaluate each student’s SAP before awarding financial aid and at the end of each semester. If a student has exceeded the maximum time frame for their program, they will not be able to receive financial aid for that program any longer.

Should either the GPA requirement or the Progression Requirement not be met, the student will be placed on Financial Aid ‘Warning’ status. Financial Aid ‘Warning’ status means the student can receive financial aid for one additional semester. At the end of the ‘Warning’ semester, the student must be making satisfactory academic progress. If the student is not maintaining SAP standards, the student will be placed on Financial Aid ‘Suspension’ status. While on Financial Aid ‘Suspension’ status a student must pay for classes on their own until satisfactory SAP standards are re-established.

Financial aid students who have been placed on Financial Aid ‘Warning’ for one semester, and are not in satisfactory academic standing by the end of that semester, meaning they do not have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 and have not earned at least 67% of all courses, will be suspended from receiving financial aid.

Removal from financial aid will not prevent a student from attending CCC. A student who enrolls at CCC without the benefit of financial aid may request a review of grades after any term completed without the assistance of financial aid to determine if SAP standards have been re-established. Once standards are re-established, eligibility may be reinstated for the next academic term.
