Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements
To receive federal and state aid, Hilbert students must maintain a minimum grade point average (GPA) and pass a minimum number of credit hours each semester. This is called being in good academic standing. The cumulative quality point average (CQPA) must be met each term of study. The accrued number of credit hours (program pursuit) must be met at the completion of each academic year. It’s strongly recommended that prior to withdrawing from a course you seek advisement from the Office of Student Finance to determine the impact of withdrawing on future financial aid eligibility. The following charts show the standards of good academic standing for Hilbert students for continuance of federal aid. Standard for Continuance of Federal Aid Standard for Continuance of Federal Aid

Students who receive Aid to Part-Time/or TAP to total 24 TAP points (equal to four full-time awards) must maintain a 2.00 CQPA for continued eligibility for state aid. State regulations allow a one-time waiver to undergraduate students who have not met the good academic standards as a result of severe circumstances. Upon notification of ineligibility, if you are requesting a waiver you must make an appointment with Hilbert’s academic dean. An interview appointment and documentation is required to have waiver consideration. If a waiver is granted, you are allowed to receive the TAP award for the upcoming semester. This waiver can only be granted once in an entire undergraduate career, regardless of the institution(s). Contact Information
