Academic Policies

Sufficient Progress:
The IUP Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy requires sufficient academic progress toward a degree on both academic good standing (GPA) and sufficient progress (percent of progress) bases. The standard of academic good standing is defined within the university's Academic Standards Policy. The standard of sufficient progress for financial aid eligibility is the successful completion of 75 percent of the cumulative number of registered credits at IUP. Registered credits are the number of credits for which a student is enrolled at the end of the Drop/Add period. (For a student who was originally registered and charged at full-time status and who reduced during Drop/Add to part-time status, the registered credits will be calculated as twelve.)

A student who meets the standard of academic good standing of the Academic Standards Policy but who does not meet the standard of sufficient quantitative progress may continue in university registration but without financial aid eligibility for the federal Title IV aid programs.

A full statement of requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress for Title IV Federal Student Assistance is available through the Financial Aid Office.

All courses taken at IUP become a part of the student's permanent academic record. The record shall show hours attempted, hours earned, and quality points earned.

The academic standing of all students is computed on the basis of courses attempted at this university only. Credit is granted for work completed in other institutions in accordance with the stipulations set forth under Admission and Registration.
