Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements
Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements
All enrolled students are required to maintain satisfactory academic progress towards meeting the established graduation requirements of Tooele Tech’s programs. A student must meet each of the following qualitative and quantitative standards to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress:
Qualitative Measure
A student must have a minimum score of 80% on all tests or other course assignments, and demonstrate 100% mastery on related skill assessments before continuing to the next course.
Quantitative Measure – Pace
Course material is assigned progress hours based on the average time a student would be expected to complete the material. Progress hours are then measured as a ratio against enrolled hours to determine how many hours a student actually took to complete the course material.
Completion Deadline: Students must be on pace for completing the program in no more than 150% of the weeks in the program.
Monitoring: Progress is monitored at the end of each payment period.
Attendance and Disbursement
The Financial Aid Office recommends that your attendance be at least 80%. It is our experience that students with attendance less than this often fail to meet the progress requirements.
Courtesy Warning: If your attendance is less than 80% you will receive a courtesy warning. This warning is only to alert you of the potential risk of low attendance.
Disbursement Requirement: Students are not eligible for their next Title IV disbursement until they have completed all hours in the payment period.
Minimum Standard: The absolute minimum attendance allowed is 67%. A student must attend at least 67% of the scheduled class hours on a cumulative basis during each evaluation period in order to meet SAP and be eligible for their next Pell disbursement.
