法规和政策

美国联邦学生援助办公室.S. 教育部, is responsible for managing the student financial assistance programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965. This office is also responsible for developing and enforcing the following regulations and policies.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for Federal, State, and Institutional Aid

The federal government requires that institutions of higher education establish minimum standards of academic success for students to remain eligible to receive federal and state financial aid (Federal Pell Grant, F.S.E.O.G., 联邦教育补助金, 联邦工作研究, 联邦珀金斯贷款, 有补贴和无补贴联邦直接贷款, 联邦直接附加贷款, 内布拉斯加州机会补助金). 内布拉斯加州卫斯理大学 will follow these same guidelines for the awarding of institutional aid as well.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is maintained by meeting the following standards:

1. Qualitative – a student must have the following cumulative grade point average as follows:
   
   1-25学分- 1.60
   
   26-57学分- 1.80
   
   58或以上学分- 2.00
2. Incremental – the total number of credit hours earned divided by the total number of credit hours attempted (including transfer hours) must be at least 67%.
3. Overall – the maximum time for a student to complete their degree is 150% of the standard. 所有学士学位的候选人必须完成126个学分, meaning the maximum time frame a student is eligible to receive financial aid is 189 credit hours.

The guidelines are established to encourage students to successfully complete courses for which financial aid is awarded and received. 成功完成学业的定义是获得及格分数(不是“F”)。. Courses transferred from other institutions will be included in the number of semester hours earned and attempted. 成绩为“W”、“I”或“F”的课程按修课时数计算.

程序

内布拉斯加州卫斯理大学 will check SAP for students in the graduate program at the conclusion of the academic year (spring semester).

If at the end of the academic year a student does not meet the SAP requirements, 该学生的助学金将被中止. 财政援助办公室将通过NWU电子邮件通知学生. A notice may also be mailed to the student’s most recent permanent mailing address.

Students in suspension may appeal their status by submitting a letter of explanation, 以及任何支持文件, 以电子邮件或邮寄的方式寄给奖学金和财政援助主任. The letter of appeal should contain what the significant mitigating circumstances were that impacted the student’s ability to succeed (i.e. – serious illness or injury of the student, death or illness of a close relative or friend, etc.)申诉还应包括学生从该情况中学到的东西, steps they have taken to make sure the circumstances will no longer impact the student’s academic success, and an academic plan of how they will regain satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation. A letter of support from their academic advisor or other faculty member concerning the student’s ability to succeed would be beneficial as part of the appeal process. Filing a letter of appeal does not guarantee continued eligibility for federal, state, 或者机构财政援助.

如果学生的上诉被批准, 我校将以电子邮件通知学生，并给予见习学期. For the probationary semester the student may be considered academically eligible for federal, state, 以及机构财政援助.

如果上诉被拒绝，学生将收到NWU的电子邮件通知. A notice may also be mailed to the student’s most recent permanent mailing address. 这是该学期的最终决定. The student may re-establish eligibility once they meet satisfactory academic progress requirements.

图书收费政策

Nebraska Wesleyan Pell Grant recipients and students with a credit balance will be eligible to purchase books using their NWU student account—up to the amount approved by the NWU 业务办公室. A credit balance is created when financial aid funds exceed allowable charges (tuition, fees, etc.)。.

谁有资格对他们的书收费?

要符合资格，学生:

• 必须完成经济援助程序
• 一定是获得了佩尔助学金
• 必须有会话的信用余额
• 必须满足提前支付的所有要求

If a qualifying Nebraska Wesleyan Pell Grant recipient does not want a book credit, 他们不需要向业务办公室提交收据以获得批准.

复读班的联邦援助政策

通过的课程在联邦资助下只能重修一次. The 教育部 has recently published new regulations which impact students who repeat courses. 7月1日开始, 2011, students may only receive federal financial aid for one repetition (repeat) of a previously passed course. This means that students who have already passed a course with a grade of a D or better may only repeat the class one additional time and receive financial aid for that course.No student may repeat a course a third time and receive financial aid for the course.

This federal regulation applies to students who receive federal financial aid regardless if they received financial aid for the previous attempts.

• 示例1苏西选了解剖学，并以D的成绩通过了这门课. 她可能会选择重修这门课以获得更好的成绩. If she does that, she would qualify for federal financial aid on the second attempt. If she attempts the class again a third time, she would not be eligible for federal funds.
• 示例2约翰参加了15小时的课程，其中有一门3小时的课程是重复的. John’s federal aid will not be affected because John will still be enrolled in 12 hours excluding the repeated course; however, 如果约翰一开始是12小时外加3小时的复读课程, 约翰的助学金必须调整，以反映他非全日制学生的身份. 约翰的联邦财政补助将基于9小时而不是12小时. 

取消或撤回对联邦援助的影响

Withdrawing from a Nebraska Wesleyan session in a semester can be partial or complete.

• 当学生在一个学期内没有完成所有的课程时, the university is federally required to review the aid the student received and compare it to what the student earned and determine if R2T4 calculations are required (see R2T4 policy above).
• 新规定将于7月1日生效, 2011 state that a student is considered withdrawn when he or she has not completed all the days he or she was scheduled to attend in the semester.
• Partial or complete withdrawal could result in repayment of federal funds by the student.
