STANDARDS OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS
CCU has established standards of
satisfactory academic progress to encourage students to complete
courses for which financial aid is received. Satisfactory academic
progress is defined as the successful
completion of 67% of the credit hours attempted during a semester
by receiving a passing grade and maintaining the required minimum
grade point average.
Undergraduate financial aid recipients
must maintain satisfactory academic standing by successfully completing
67% of the hours attempted and achieving the following minimum
grade-point average:
After one semester: 1.50
After two semesters: 1.75
After three semesters: 2.00
A student whose cumulative grade
point average fails to meet the minimum standards noted above
will be placed on one semester of financial aid probation. Failure
to bring the cumulative grade-point average up to the required
minimum after the probationary semester will result in financial
aid suspension. Students on financial aid suspension must bring
their grade-point average up to the required minimum by taking
or retaking classes paid with their own resources before their
financial aid will be reinstated.
Graduate and undergraduate students may repeat a course one time
only and maintain financial aid eligibility for that course. This
regulation pertains to withdrawn, failed and passed courses.
Any graduate or undergraduate student who feels he or
she has circumstances which warrant an exemption to this policy
should submit a letter of appeal
to the Financial Aid Office. If the appeal is successful,
financial aid will be reinstated. All appeals for financial aid
reinstatement will be decided by the Financial Aid Appeals Committee.
This committee consists of the Academic Dean of Cincinnati Bible
College, the Academic Dean of Cincinnati Bible Seminary, the Dean
of Students, the Registrar, the Chief Fiscal Officer, and the
Financial Aid Coordinator.
