SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS

All financial aid recipients are required by Federal and state regulations to meet standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress established by Brookdale Community College.

This policy applies to all students applying for financial aid from any financial aid program administered by the Financial Aid Office at Brookdale Community College.

The policy is monitored once per year for all students and at the end of each semester for students on probation or appeal.

The Satisfactory Academic Progress policy is different from the College's Standards of Academic Performance.

In addition to a minimum GPA requirement, the policy examines the number of credits you have attempted, and stipulates how many of them you must earn. There is also a maximum number of remedial credits (30), for which a student may receive financial aid as well as a Maximum Time Frame in which a student must complete their degree.

APPEAL PROCESS

Students who do not meet the requirements of their probation due to extenuating circumstances (illness, injury, death of family member etc.) may submit a written appeal to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee in the Office of Financial Aid. The student must explain any mitigating circumstances and submit appropriate documentation to support the appeal and reason for unsatisfactory academic performance. The Appeals committee meets weekly.
