Semester Hour Completion

Students must complete their program of study within the below maximum time frame. Students must successfully complete at least 67% of all attempted semester hours and will be placed on Academic/Financial Aid Warning if this requirement is not met (See section on Satisfactory Academic Progress). Courses dropped within the add/drop period are not counted toward attempted semester hours. The semester hours attempted for the program may not exceed 150% of the semester hours required for the degree. For example, a student in the BSBA program requiring 120 semester hours may not attempt more than 180 semester hours, including transfer credits. Students must note that when a Satisfactory Academic Progress review indicates that a student cannot complete the program within the maximum allowed semester hours, or when 150% is reached, the student will be Academically Disqualified, and no additional Title IV aid can be awarded or disbursed. Students can appeal this decision through the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeal Process and may be eligible for additional aid.
