金融援助 & 退伍军人服务在发放助学金之前和每学期结束时对所有提交了联邦学生援助免费申请(FAFSA)的学生进行学业进展评估。. 这种评估包括定性(GPA)和定量(PACE和最大时间框架)的进展措施. 学生必须达到每项指标的最低标准,才有资格获得经济援助.

学生有责任随时了解学院的满意学术进步(SAP)标准,并监督他们的进步.

GPA(平均绩点)

学生必须保持 累积绩点2.00或更高 申请经济援助资格. (平均成绩没有四舍五入)

  • 除了以下所列的特殊除外, SAP GPA calculations incorporate 年级s earned during 所有 WCC的入学期限; even those for which the student did not receive financial aid. 这包括重复的课程, coursework taken by dual-enrolled high school students, 课程由赞助商支付, 以及由于被批准的“学术宽恕”而可能从WCC官方GPA中删除的成绩.”
