Satisfactory progress is based on standards of qualityand quantity.Enrollment PeriodsWhen a student is reviewed for satisfactory progress, all enrollmentperiods for the current program are included in the review. This includesenrollment periods during which the student did not receive financial aidand enrollment periods during which the student did receive financial aid.Qualitative StandardsQuality is indicated in grades received, as defined in the cumulativeGrade Point Average (GPA). Successful completion of courses includesthe following grades: A, B, C, D and P. New Hampshire Technical Institutewill follow these guidelines:Total CreditsMinimum CumulativeAccumulatedGrade PointToward NHTI Program* Average Required1 - 13 1.514 - 27 1.728 - 40 1.841+ 2.0*Total credits accumulated will include:1. all courses used in computing GPA for current program;2. pass/fail courses in current program.The financial aid officer reviews qualitative satisfactory progress atthe end of each semester.Students suspended by the Academic Standards Committee may notbe eligible for any Title IV funds even though the students may be encouragedto enroll for courses during the suspension period. If students applyfor and are accepted to another academic program following suspension,their eligibility for financial aid may be reviewed. Contact the FinancialAid Office at 603-271-7135 to determine eligibility.Qualitative Warning and IneligibilityStudents who fail to meet the qualitative standards for satisfactoryprogress will be placed on satisfactory progress warning for one semester.During this semester they will continue to be eligible for financial aid, butmust bring their cumulative grade point average up to the required standard.If a student does not bring his/her GPA to the required standardduring the warning semester, the student will be ineligible to receivefinancial aid for the following semester. Aid can be reinstated only aftera student has met the required standards listed above. Withdrawal andreadmission do not necessarily change the student’s satisfactory progressstatus.Quantitative StandardsAssociate Degree, Certificate and Diploma ProgramsStudents pursuing financial aid-eligible programs must complete aminimum number of credits each year to conform with satisfactory progress.Completed credits result in grades of A, B, C, D, E, P or PP. Grades of W,I, WP, NP, F, AF, AD or AU do not fulfill the requirement.Credit hours attempted will be cumulative and will include all hours forwhich the student was enrolled as of the end of the ADD/DROP period half-waythrough the program. For full-time and part-time students, the formula to determinethe minimum number of credits required is as follows:• # of credits in the maximum # of creditsprogram of study x 150% = student is allowed toattempt and receive aid• # of credits inprogram of studythe percentage ofdivided by = credits attemptedmaximum # of credits that student muststudent is allowed completeto attempt andreceive financial aid• # of credits student # of credits studentattempted = must complete.Example:72 credits inprogram x 150% = 10872 = 67%108If student attempted20 credits which30 credits: 30 x 67% = student mustcomplete that yearCertificate/Diploma Programs:Same as Associate Degree except that quantitative satisfactoryprogress is reviewed at the end of each semester. Therefore, step 3 is:# of credits students # of credits studentattempted during = must completesemester x 67%that semester.Quantitative Warning and IneligibilityStudents enrolled in Associate Degree, Certificate or Diploma programswho fail to meet the quantitative standards for satisfactory progresswill be placed on satisfactory progress warning for one semester. Duringthis warning semester, students will continue to be eligible for financialaid, but must bring their cumulative number of credits earned to therequired standard. (Transfer credits can be used to make up deficiencies incredits earned.) If during the semester of warning the student does notbring up the cumulative number of credits earned to the required standard,the student will be ineligible for financial aid the following semester.Aid can be reinstated only after a student has met the requiredstandards listed above. Withdrawal and readmission do not necessarilychange the student’s satisfactory progress status.Appeal ProcedureIf a student is ineligible for Financial Aid based on satisfactoryprogress, the student may appeal for review of that determination. Studentsclaiming extenuating circumstances should first appeal in writing tothe Financial Aid Officer. The next appeal should be made in writing tothe Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management within 15working days following the Financial Aid Officer’s decision. A successfulappeal may preserve the student’s eligibility for financial aid in the followingsemester.Regaining EligibilityStudents who are denied financial aid for failure to maintain satisfactoryprogress must regain their eligibility during future semesters attheir own expense. When GPAs are raised to the acceptable level, studentsmay be eligible for reinstatement of financial aid providing they arealso within the quantitative satisfactory progress limits.Suspended students who are readmitted to a program may not beeligible for financial aid on their return unless they have taken courses inthe interim and raised their GPA to satisfy the qualitative and quantita-15
