Minimum Standards for Undergraduate Students

Trevecca’s institutional requirements for minimum SAP for undergraduate financial aid recipients are defined as follows:

  1. Minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA):

    The student must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA:

  2. Hours GPA Required
    0-29 1.6
    30-59 2.0
    60-89 2.0
    90-completion 2.0
  3. Minimum completion rate:

    The student must maintain a minimum cumulative completion rate of two-thirds of credits attempted (67 percent).

  4. Maximum time frame to complete the program/degree:

    The student must complete his or her educational program within a time frame no longer than 150 percent of published length of the educational program, as measured by credits attempted and including transfer credits. (For example, the student must complete his or her program after attempting a maximum of 180 credits for a 120-credit program.)

Federal regulations require that TNU track the academic progress of financial aid recipients from the first date of enrollment at TNU, whether financial aid was received or not.

Academic work done at other institutions (if accepted by TNU toward a degree) will count for the progress standard for both attempted and completed hours. Remedial work will be considered as part of the satisfactory progress.

Incomplete grades do not count in the GPA calculation until the course is completed. Incomplete grades do count in hours attempted. Grade changes will be evaluated at the next SAP scheduled evaluation period.

Withdrawals are included as attempted hours but are not included in the GPA calculation.

When measuring pass rate and maximum timeframe standards, all attempted credits associated with repeated coursework are included, but only credits associated with the last completed repeated course will be included as earned credits if credits were earned. For the GPA component, only the last completed repeated course is counted.
