Satisfactory Academic Progress Federal regulations now require all institutions to establish, publish, and apply standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress for federal financial aid eligibility. Since these must be at least as rigorous as the school’s policy for students not receiving such aid, these regulations effectively mandate the establishment of standards for all students. The BRGS policy is as follows: MA Degree: Students are required to complete their degree within five years.* All course assignments must be completed within a semester and summer of the completion of a course, though faculty may require more timely submission. Students who have enrolled in 12 credits during their graduate careers must have completed at least 50% successfully in order to remain in good standing. Withdrawals—even without penalty—count in this calculation. Students who have enrolled in 24 credits must have completed at least 75% successfully. To remain in good standing after the completion of 12 credits, a student must have maintained a grade point average of 3.0. Progress will be reviewed annually. Students who have taken a leave or otherwise experienced special circumstances may request an extension of these deadlines. Students granted such an extension should contact the Office of Student Finance to determine their eligibility for government assistance. *The portion of student funding contributed by the Philos Project to Hebraic Studies students is only guaranteed to those who complete the degree in 4 consecutive semesters (summer, fall, spring, and summer).
