(Deletions denoted by strikethroughs. Revisions denoted by underscores)

Effective December 6, 2021

Satisfactory Academic Progress, p. 99
The qualitative standard requires that a student achieve a minimum CGPA of 2.0 after completing his/her first semester/pay period at Southeastern College and a 2.0 CGPA for each semester/pay period thereafter.
For programs less than a semester or pay period, the qualitative standard requires that a student achieve a minimum CGPA of 2.0 throughout the program. For programs that are less than 2-months, students will be evaluated every 2-weeks for SAP. If a student failed to meet standards during the evaluation, the student will be given a Plan of Action with academic advising for that timeframe and placed on FAW for the following month.  Monitoring academic performance and communication with the student is essential to academic success. A Plan of Action will be developed to help students be successful in their studies.  Students must be advised regarding their academic performance as well as their attendance. 

Satisfactory Academic Progress, p.100
In the event a student does not achieve a 2.0 or greater GPA in his/her first semester/pay period or a 2.0 CGPA in any semester thereafter, or earn 66.67% of the cumulative credits attempted, the student will be placed on AFAW.  For programs less than a semester or pay period, if a student failed to meet standards during the evaluation, the student will be given a Plan of Action with academic advising for that timeframe and placed on FAW for the following month.  Monitoring academic performance and communication with the student is essential to academic success. A Plan of Action will be developed to help students be successful in their studies.  Students must be advised regarding their academic performance as well as their attendance. 
For programs less than one semester in length, the student will be dismissed. 

If a student is placed on AFAW and achieves a CGPA of 2.0 or the required 66.67% of credits (clock hours for clock hour programs) at the end of the next semester/pay period, the AFAP is lifted.

If the College determines that the student is not meeting SAP at the end of the AFAW, the student may appeal the determination. At the end of the month of FAW, if the student continues to fail to meet standards, the student will be dismissed for students enrolled in a program less than one semester or pay period. The College may only approve an appeal by a student if the College determines the student will meet SAP based on the CGPA and/or PACE standards during the next enrollment. Please see the Academic Financial Aid Grievance Process. A student who fails to meet SAP requirements and who has appealed that determination and has had eligibility for aid reinstated is placed on AFAP for the following semester/pay period and continues to be eligible for Title IV funding. If the student elects not to appeal the determination of the College, the student will be dismissed from the program and the College or can continue in the program without Title IV funding on AFAP status.

Course Delivery

Medical Assisting courses, except for MEA180 & MEA181 (externship courses) are available via distance education and residential delivery. In MEA180 & MEA181, students will complete their externship hours in an occupational setting such as health care facilities, private and/or group practices, clinics, or other suitable facilities. Distance education courses are delivered through Southeastern College’s online course delivery platform. 

Expectations of Students in Distance Education: 
It is important to understand what online classes are and what they are not. Online classes are not easy substitutes for on-campus classes. In fact, students find online classes as rigorous and demanding as on-campus classes. Students are expected to attend their virtual classrooms a specified number of times per week. All attendance is monitored. Times are flexible and dictated by students’ personal schedules; nonetheless, their presence is required and recorded and counts toward final grades. 

An online student is expected to be computer literate and familiar with the Internet. An orientation course is available to help students improve these skills. 

An online class is convenient and flexible. It allows students to work on assignments and participate in class discussions as their schedules permit within reasonable timeframes. Learning is achieved through individual inquiry, collaborative processes (student/student and student/faculty), and personal synthesis of ideas into an understanding of the topic. Outcomes are determined by qualitative analysis of student input, subjective and objective tests, including pre- and post-test, group and individual projects and case studies. 

Requirements for Distance Education: 
Southeastern College has computers available with Internet access for student use at the campuses. Southeastern College provides technical services and training through its online platform. Personal desk top or lap top computer with internet access is required for students in online programs. Students are required to have Microsoft office for all online classes. 

Learning Resource System: 
All students, whether distance or residential, have access to the electronic learning resource system available at any time through any computer with Internet access.  Expected learning outcomes, graduation requirements and student services requirements remain the same for all students, regardless of course delivery method.

State Authorization Disclosure Hybrid Programs, p. 20

PROGRAM-SPECIFIC ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
All candidates must achieve the required entrance examination scores and all other requirements for admission to specific certificate, diploma and associate degree programs.

STATE AUTHORIZATION DISCLOSURE HYBRID PROGRAMS
The following information applies to any prospective or current student enrolled in a hybrid program at Southeastern College:

Southeastern College reviews admission applications and may enroll students in hybrid programs from each state under National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA). If a student moves to another state, the student must contact Southeastern College.  A student relocation to another state which is not covered by NC-SARA may adversely impact the student’s ability to complete their hybrid program at Southeastern College.  It is the student’s responsibility to inform Southeastern College in writing via email, postal mail or letter delivered in person of his or her relocation to another state with as much notice as possible.

 Southeastern College criteria for determining a student’s physical location may include, but in not limited to, government issued identification, state driver’s license, signed student attestation, lease agreement, or other verified documentation of physical location. The physical address documented on the Enrollment Agreement must be verified as a residence located within NC-SARA.  Should any known material circumstance arise that would adversely impact an applicant’s ability to complete the program, those will be disclosed, if known, in writing to the student during the admissions process.

Cancellation and Refund Policy, p. 43
Return of Title IV Funds (R2T4) 
The requirements for Federal Student Aid (FSA) when a student withdraws is different from the Institutional Refund Policy. As such a student may still owe a balance to the college for unpaid institutional charges. Federal regulations specify the amount of FSA funds the student is eligible to retain for the semester/payment period. 

For students who withdraw during the semester/payment period, the College will perform a Return to Title IV calculation (R2T4) to determine the amount of FSA funds the student has earned at the time of withdrawal. This is calculated based on the total number of calendar days completed divided by the total number of calendar days in the semester/payment period.  

For example, if the R2T4 calculation showed the student had completed 30% of his/her semester/payment period, they will have earned 30% of the eligible FSA funds received/scheduled to receive for that semester/payment period. Once a student has completed more than 60% of the semester/payment period he/she has earned 100% of the FSA funds for that period with the exception of the Pell Grant which is pro-rated based on credit hours attempted prior to the R2T4 calculation being completed. Anytime a student begins attendance in at least one course, but does not begin attendance in all the courses he/she was scheduled to attend, the college must review to see if it is necessary to recalculate the student’s eligibility for funding received based on a revised enrollment status and cost of education. 

In a program offered in modules (clock hour programs are not considered as modular) for any student who withdraws on or after July 1, 2021, a student is not considered to have withdrawn if the student meets one of the following exceptions:

1.	Successful completion of one module that includes 49 percent or more of the number of days in the payment period, excluding scheduled breaks of five or more consecutive days and all days between modules; or
2.	Successful A combination of modules that when combined contain 49 percent or more of the number of days in the payment period, excluding scheduled breaks of five or more consecutive days and all days between modules; or
3.	Successful completion of coursework equal to or greater than the coursework required for the institution’s definition of a half-time student under § 668.2 for the payment period
For students who withdraw during the semester/payment period that do not meet one of the three R2T4 exceptions described above, the College will perform a Return to Title IV calculation (R2T4) to determine the amount of FSA funds the student has earned at the time of withdrawal. This is calculated based on the total number of calendar days completed divided by the total number of calendar days in the semester/payment period.  

The Order of the Return of FSA Funds, p. 44
The return of FSA funds under the Federal refund policy, follows a specific order.
(1) Unsubsidized Direct Loan – (2) Subsidized Direct Stafford Loan – (3) Perkins Loan Direct Plus – (4) Direct PLUS Pell Grant– (5) Pell Grant Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants – (6) FSEOG – (7) - Other Title IV

Clock Hour/Credit Hour Conversion, p. 78
Financial Aid Credit for Southeastern College courses is calculated as follows:
•	37.5 30.0 clock hours = 1 semester credit hour
Schedule Gap, p.84
A Scheduled Gap is available for students who may not be able to complete the required classes in sequence because the course(s) needed are not available but wish to remain as an actively enrolled student. In addition, a student may request a Schedule Gap prior to the start of a new semester/payment period as long as the student maintains at least half-time status in the new semester/payment period. This must not exceed two modules (8 weeks maximum) in any one semester/payment period and must be arranged prior to the beginning of the semester/payment period. To be eligible to apply for a Scheduled Gap, a student must request a change of status in writing and provide the reason for the Scheduled Gap request. When requesting a Scheduled Gap electronically, only a Southeastern College student Email address may be used.

Grading Policy, p.94
Occupational Therapy Assistant Program
For students in the Occupational Therapy Assistant Program, successful completion of the courses in the major is a grade of “C” (70.00%-79.99%) or better.  Completion of general education courses is a minimum grade of “C” or higher.

Registry and Licensure Examinations, p.104
Students are assessed a fee for required examination(s); such fees are eligible for Title IV funding. However, costs of examination retakes are a student responsibility. The College will submit required paperwork in advance for each graduating class. Students are required recommended to register for the examination(s) within 30 days of completing their program and sit for the examination within 90 days. If a program has multiple examinations, the first examination must be completed in 90 days and the second within 120 days.

A student may be reinstated to classes following an instructor’s evaluation of their abilities and performance. Such determinations are made on an individual, case-by-case basis. A new or re-entry Sstudents must be in attendance by the third class meeting or they are not permitted to begin school a course.

Repeating Courses, p. 97

A course in which a letter grade “F”, or “F.” has been earned may be repeated for grade average purposes. Only the higher grade is used in computation of a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at Southeastern College for students who received a letter grade of “F” or “F.”. 

A course in which a letter grade of “D” or higher has been earned may be repeated for grade average purposes.  Only the higher grade is used in computation of a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at Southeastern College.  Students may only receive federal financial aid funding for one repetition of a previously passed course. If a student attempts the class for a third time, they will not be eligible for Federal Financial Aid funding. 

All repeated courses, including withdrawals from repeated courses, affect financial aid satisfactory academic progress calculations. A repeated course along with the original attempt must be counted as attempted credits.

Regardless if a student is eligible or not eligible for Federal Financial Aid funding no course in which a failing grade has been earned (F, F.) may be repeated more than two (2) times (three attempts in total) at Southeastern College. Student attempting for the 3rd time must submit a written request to the Dean of Academic Affairs/Campus President for approval. If approved, the student will be eligible for Title IV funds.
Should a student wish to seek an exception and will not exceed the quantitative standard of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy, s/he must submit a written request to the Dean of Academic Affairs/Campus President for approval from the Executive Director. If approved, the student will not be eligible for Title IV funds. 

Students who repeat a course for which they have received a letter grade of “D” or “F” must notify the Registrar’s Office for recalculation of their cumulative GPA. A course in which a satisfactory letter grade (e.g., “A”, “B”, “C”) has been earned may not be repeated for grade average purposes. No courses may be repeated for grade average purposes after graduation.

NOTE: Veterans’ Administration benefits for repeating courses follow the same guidelines as Title IV outlined above and some Title IV funds may not cover the cost of repeating courses assigned a “D” grade. Students should speak with the Financial Services Department for further details.
