Financial Aid

Satisfactory Progress

By applying for financial aid, you are expected to demonstrate the ability to succeed by being persistent in maintaining enrollment and a minimum GPA of 2.00.

  • The Department of Education and Student Financial Assistance Programs require schools and colleges to develop and apply a consistent standard of academic progress in determining student eligibility.
  • 17勛圖 adheres to this regulation by maintaining a Satisfactory Progress (SP) policy for the awarding of Title IV funds, state, and institutional financial aid.
  • The college awards assistance based on demonstrated financial need. In addition, an individual educational plan that leads to either transfer to a four-year college, or obtain a degree/a certificate may be required.

 

Advisory

SP is determined on a district-wide basis. All work attempted and/or completed at both 17勛圖 and De Anza Colleges is used to determine SP. In addition, all units attempted at all other colleges; universities and trade schools may be included to assess the overall time frame (see below).

Eligible Program

Students cannot be offered or paid financial aid if they are not in a financial aid eligible program at 17勛圖. Eligible Programs includes AA/AS Degree, Transfer, and certain Certificate Programs.


Good Standing

Policy change effective for Winter Quarter 2016 and all subsequent quarters. The minimum standards to maintain good standing on financial aid are:

  • FULL-TIME STUDENTS (attempting 12 or more units) must earn at least 67% of attempted units each quarter with at least a 2.0 G.P.A. per quarter and cumulative.
  • THREE-QUARTER-TIME STUDENTS (attempting 9 11.9 units) must earn at least 67% of attempted each quarter with at least a 2.0 G.P.A. per quarter and cumulative.
  • HALF-TIME STUDENTS (attempting 6 8.9 units) must earn at least 67% of attempted each quarter with at least a 2.0 G.P.A. per quarter and cumulative.
  • LESS THAN HALF-TIME STUDENTS (attempting <6 units) must earn at least 67% of attempted each quarter with at least a 2.0 G.P.A. per quarter and cumulative.

 

Maximum Time Frame

Students are allowed a maximum amount of time to reach their goals in their eligible programs. At 17勛圖, students may not exceed 150% of the designated length of an eligible financial aid program (AA/AS degree, Transfer, Eligible Certificate).

  • Therefore, if students reach a total attempted units that meets or exceeds the maximum allowable units they will be considered to have reached their maximum time frame and no longer qualify for federal aid.
  • All attempted units/work performed at other colleges may be included in determining whether students are over the allowable unit count.
  • If applicants approach this excess level and are applying for federal aid, they must submit an appeal that will be reviewed to determine whether this student's time frame should be extended once beyond the normal time.
