⚠️ Academic Warning and Financial Aid Exclusion

Falling behind in their classes can result in an Academic Warning and/or loss of Financial Aid. To stay in good academic standing and avoid Financial Aid Exclusion, ensure your Student:

2.0

Keep their overall GPA above 2.00

Their GPA from previous colleges will not affect this calculation.

67%

They must pass and complete at least 67% of the credit hours they attempt each semester and overall. Be cautious about withdrawing from or failing classes, as this will affect their Course Completion Rate.

Their Course Completion Rate must be 67.0% or higher! Remember, a number like 66.9% is not rounded up; it remains below the required threshold.

150%

Complete their degree within the allowed time—no more than 150% of the required hours. For a 60-hour associate's degree, that means finishing within 90 hours.

Keep in mind that hours from previous schools do count toward this PACE calculation. So if they transfer courses to NWACC, those hours will be included in their PACE evaluation.

Students must understand Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)!
