However, full-time enrollment is met when students complete at least 24 semester hours per year while maintaining a 2.0 cumulative GPA; a part-time student, when completing 12 semester hours per year while maintaining a 2.0 cumulative GPA.<\/p>\n<p>Student class level is determined by the number of semester hours completed as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>0-27, freshman;<\/li>\n<li>28-59, sophomore;<\/li>\n<li>60-91, junior;<\/li>\n<li>92 and above, senior.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Students must meet the satisfactory academic progress standards as described under the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy in the Financial Aid section of the University <a href=\"https:\/\/laverne.edu\/catalog\/\">catalog<\/a> to maintain financial aid eligibility.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: <span>The information on this page is for general guidance and may not apply to your specific situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ulv-gray-box\">\n<h2><span class=\"orange-bar\">Legend<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Good Standing (GS):\u00a0<\/strong>If you maintain an overall GPA of 2.0 or higher then you&#8217;re in good standing.\u00a0 [Note: A grade of C- is not equivalent to a 2.0 GPA].<\/li>\n<li><strong>Academic Warning (AW):<\/strong> If you fail to earn a term GPA of 2.0 or higher even though your overall GPA is above 2.0, then you will be given an academic warning. The academic warning is posted on the transcript and grade report for that semester.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/laverne.edu\/advising\/academic-probation\/\"><strong>Academic Probation (AP):<\/strong> <\/a>If your overall GPA falls below 2.0 then you will be placed on academic probation. If you were academically reinstated after academic disqualification, you will be placed back on academic probation.\u00a0 A notation will be made on the transcript. Academic probation is a serious warning that your academic record is unsatisfactory. If you are on academic probation, you must obtain a ULV GPA of 2.0 or above each academic term until the cumulative ULV GPA meets or exceeds 2.0.\u00a0 You will not be eligible to enroll in the culminating activity or be cleared for Commencement until academic probation is removed. If you fail to improve your academic standing after one semester will be academically disqualified.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/laverne.edu\/advising\/academic-disqualification\/\"><strong>Academic Disqualification (AD):<\/strong><\/a> If you fail to earn a ULV GPA of 2.0 in any semester after being placed on academic probation, you will be academically disqualified.\u00a0 Academic disqualification will be recorded on the transcript. If you are disqualified for the first time, you may appeal for reinstatement and resume an academic probation status.\u00a0 You must maintain a ULV GPA of 2.0 or better every academic term until you resume good standing (an overall GPA of 2.0 or higher).\u00a0 If you are disqualified a second time&#8211;failed to earn a ULV GPA of 2.0 or higher in any academic term&#8211;then you must leave ULV for one academic year to take courses elsewhere and prove that you can be successful before returning to ULV by appeal reinstatement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Academic Reinstatement or Readmission<\/h3>\n<p>The Dean of Academic &amp; Career Success may consider extenuating circumstances in your appeal for reinstatement after receiving a notice of academic disqualification (first disqualification).\u00a0 A second disqualification for failing to earn a ULV GPA of 2.0 or higher results in automatic dismissal for one academic year.<\/p>\n<p>During your absence after disqualification, you are encouraged to matriculate in courses at another college or university to demonstrate academic success.\u00a0 You can use these courses to appeal for academic reinstatement after one academic year.\u00a0 We encourage enrollment in degree-bearing courses that can be transferred to ULV.<\/p>\n<h3>Financial Aid Implications<\/h3>\n<p>Because financial aid is not guaranteed and may be denied even if you are academically reinstated, you may need to consider a financial plan on how you intend to pay tuition in the absence of federal and state financial aid.\u00a0 Academic reinstatement and financial aid by appeal are not guaranteed, thus, you are expected to treat these appeals as serious matters.<\/p>\n<p>According to Financial Aid:<\/p>\n<p>Students are Disqualified without the ability to appeal when they are on probation for a semester, and do not meet the SAP requirements during the probationary semester. In order to be reconsidered for aid, students must return their progress back to meeting SAP guidelines. Our Satisfactory Academic Progress policy has two guidelines. An institutional GPA requirement (2.0 for undergraduate students) and a Unit completion requirement (student must pass above 67% of attempted units).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Students who are not meeting the 2.0 ULV GPA requirement must take classes at ULV to improve their institutional GPA. Transferring in external courses will not improve their institutional GPA, so this would not help them regain aid eligibility.<\/li>\n<li>If a student is on SAP due to insufficient attempted units (aka, unit completion rate), external coursework will be considered.\u00a0 In this scenario, federal guidelines stipulate that we consider attempted\/earned ratios from all courses accepted towards the student\u2019s academic program (including transferred coursework).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can view our full SAP policy <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.laverne.edu\/financial-aid-policy\/#newtabtext\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\">For example, if a student is not meeting the GPA requirement \u00a0(1.48) or the Unit completion requirements (53%)&#8230; If a student decides to attend La&nbsp;Verne after being disqualified (but is reinstated) without the ability to appeal [for financial aid], or is not granted the appeal [for financial aid], their institutional scholarships will still apply. Their <a href=\"https:\/\/laverne.edu\/financial-aid\/undergraduate\/\">aid from the FAFSA<\/a> (student loans, Pell grant, Cal grant) will not. The student&#8217;s institutional scholarships may still pay out to their account for the semester.
