of the results of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal . Reinstatement of aid for a subsequent period will be determined on an individual basis .
Students who do not meet the terms of satisfactory academic progress , and who either elect not to file an appeal , or who failed to meet the terms of their financial aid academic plan will be required to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress standards before regaining eligibility for financial aid .
Satisfactory Academic Progress Probation
Students will be assigned this status if they fail to meet satisfactory academic progress but successfully appeal . Students will be permitted to receive financial aid for one additional term with continued eligibility to be reviewed and determined at the term ’ s end .

Incompletes , Withdrawals , Failures and Repetitions
Classes graded with failure (“ E ”), “ incomplete ”, “ no credit ”, or “ withdraw ” will be evaluated as courses attempted , although not successfully completed . Repeated courses will count toward academic progress .
Transfer Credit , Siena Heights Credit Hours and Academic Program
When determining if a student is within the requirements of Siena Height ’ s Satisfactory Academic Progress policy , the Financial Aid Office will consider credit hours that are accepted by the Registrar ’ s Office as transfer credit or that were taken at Siena Heights , and that are applicable to the student ’ s academic program . The number of transfer credit hours accepted will be used to calculate a student ’ s remaining eligibility according to the maximum timeframe standard ( 150 % rule ) and will be included in the quantitative calculation which includes number of credits attempted and completed . Transfer credit grades are not considered in a student ’ s GPA . The GPA used for Satisfactory Academic Progress policy only considers classes taken at Siena .
