Standard of Progress
All students at Lewis College of Business must progress
satisfactorily
towards completion of a chosen academic or vocational program.
Lewis College of Business is required by federal law to define and enforce
standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress. The Guidelines
are established to encourage students to successfully complete courses
for which aid is received.
Students receiving financial aid will be evaluated at the
end of
each academic year (fall and winter semesters). The qualitative component
of the policy will evaluate a student’s grades at the end of
each academic year while the quantitative component will measure
the maximum time frame for completion.
In order to receive any Federal Title IV funds (Federal
Direct
Loans, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Pell, Federal Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants and Federal College Work-Study); a student
must maintain satisfactory academic progress as outlined below:

A student is required to complete his/her degree and/or
certificate
requirements at LCB within 150% of the time that it is scheduled
to take for a student to graduate. Therefore, a full-time undergraduate
student pursuing a two -year course of study may be allowed
up to 6 semesters to complete a degree if the student is attending full
time each semester. Students must be enrolled in a degree program
and must be enrolled at least halftime in order to quality for Federal
Direct Loans. Students, who are enrolled less than half time, may receive
Pell Grants. The time frame for completion will be pro-rated
accordingly. A student enrolled in less than 6 hours must pass all
hours attempted with the minimum required cumulative grade point
average.
