STANDARDS OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS

The University of Nebraska at Kearney is required to establish minimum academic standards that students must meet to be eligible or maintain eligibility for federal financial aid. These standards apply to students who are receiving financial aid or who seek financial aid in the future. Failure to meet these standards for two consecutive semesters (fall, spring, summer) means the student is no longer eligible to receive financial aid.

The Qualitative Requirement for graduate students requires a minimum, cumulative grade point average of 3.0.

The quantitative requirements for graduate students are based upon enrollment status at the end of drop and add week at the start of each semester. You must successfully complete the numbers of hours for which your financial aid was based. Enrollment status and quantitative progress for graduate students is:

Additionally students have a maximum time frame for which they can receive financial aid. The maximum time frame for students seeking a Masters degree is 48 attempted hours. Students in a Specialist Degree Program may attempt 78 credit hours.
