Financial Assistance
Federal regulations require that all students who receive any federal or state financial assistance make measurable academic progress toward a degree at Campbellsville University. Progress is determined quantitatively (hours attempted versus hours earned and time frame) and qualitatively (GPA). Progress is monitored at the conclusion of spring and summer semesters. Those students readmitted to Campbellsville will be evaluated for SAP upon registering for classes.
Enrollment:
A minimum standard for full-time enrollment at the graduate level is six (6) credit hours per term. A minimum standard for part-time enrollment (at least half-time) at the graduate level is three (3) credit hours per term. Part-time enrollment (at least half-time) at the graduate level requires a student to be taking at least half of the course load of a full-time student. The definition of full-time used for student financial aid purposes can differ from the definition used for other purposes at the institution, such as the definition used by the Office of the Registrar.
Quantitative:
Graduate programs at Campbellsville vary in length so an average of the program length for Master degrees is used. The maximum time frame in which a student must complete his/her degree cannot exceed more than 150% of the published length of the student’s program. Please refer to the information below for the correct calculation. All terms and credit hours attempted are used toward the maximum time frame allowance regardless of whether the student received financial aid. All repeated courses, failed courses, withdrawals, courses taken from a change of program and transferred hours will count as credit hours attempted toward the maximum time frame.
In order to complete the necessary number of credit hours to complete a degree at Campbellsville at an acceptable rate, students must complete two-thirds (2/3) of all hours attempted. All attempted hours will be totaled and multiplied by 67% (.67) to determine the number of credit hours a student must have earned. Grades of W, I, and F and transfer hours are counted as attempted hours, however grades of W, I, and F will not be counted as earned hours. Retaking courses will add to the attempted total but will count only once as an earned credit.
