KEEPING YOUR FINANCIAL AID

​

SC Central Christian College would like for all of our students to succeed.

 

*To attend and complete college, many students use one or more types of financial aid.

 

*To be eligible for FA funds at Climb you must make satisfactory academic progress (SAP)

toward your academic program.

 

*SAP is measured at the end of each semester using the following three factors.

​

​

​

1. Grade Point Average (GPA)

• You must maintain a 2.0 cumulative S4C grade point average (GPA).

• S4C GPA does not include grades of transfer courses.

​

2. Pass Rate

• You must pass at least 67% (rounded) of all cumulative hours attempted.

• This number is called your Pass Rate.

• A grade of A, B, C or D and credit hours earned is passing.

• Grades of F, I, W, U and AU do not count as passing gradings.

• All transfer hours accepted at S4C count in both attempted and completed hours for Pass Rate.

• The grades for these courses do not transfer in and are not included in your cumulative

• S4C GPA (see above). 

To calculate your Pass Rate:

• Divide the number of Cumulative Completed Hours by the number of Cumulative Attempted Hours.

• Example 1: 6 cumulative hrs. completed ÷ 14 cumulative hrs. attempted = .4286 or 42.86% (below requirement)

• Example 2: 45 cumulative hrs. completed ÷ 67 cumulative hrs. attempted =.6716 or 67.16% (meets requirement)

• Example 3: 20 cumulative hrs. completed ÷ 30 cumulative hrs. attempted = .6667 or 66.67% (rounded up to meet requirement)

​

3. Maximum Hours*
For each program of study, S4C must set the maximum number of hours for which you are eligible to receive federal student aid. The maximum allowed is 150% of the credit hours required for your program of study transfer hours. 

• If you have declared more than one program of study, the Maximum Hours rule will be applied to the program with the highest number of required credit hours.

• The total attempted hours which could apply to your program of study will be counted toward Maximum Hours. This includes all transfer hours developmental and bridge courses.

  • You can only change your program of study three times before becoming ineligible for student aid-financial aid, loans, scholarships.
