The minimum grade point average (GPA) for completion of a degree is 2.50 on a 4.0 scale. A minimum of 2.0 is required for the Diplomas and Certificates. A student who has completed 12 or more units and whose semester or cumulative grade point average falls below 2.50 will be placed on academic probation for the next semester. A student is allowed one semester to raise his or her GPA to the required level.

A student who receives any type of government financial aid, i.e. government student loans, must maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP). SAP is calculated each fall semester or at the beginning of the financial academic year for a student. The qualitative measurement used is the GPA as defined in the above academic probation policy. A student must also complete 75% of units attempted in any one semester to remain eligible to receive government student loans.
Students on Academic Probation are not eligible to receive Financial aid, awards, or loans (government or MBBS). If the student is a veteran, he/she will be un-enrolled for Veterans Benefits while on academic probation. If the student is unable to meet the required GPA, the student’s continued enrollment at the Seminary will be reviewed.

APPEAL PROCESS:
A student may appeal a ruling of ineligibility to receive financial aid by submitting a petition to the Academic Dean and the Financial Aid Director. The petition will be reviewed and eligibility will be determined.
