2017-2018 Undergraduate Bulletin

Rate of Progress

The Rate of Progress rules are in addition to the Program Pursuit rules. Students must follow both sets of rules in order to receive a TAP award each semester. Rate of Progress requires that a student earn (pass) a certain number of credits before receiving each TAP award. In addition, students must also maintain a certain grade point average (GPA).

These academic standards must be maintained for continued receipt of aid.

To receive each TAP payment:

  • credits counted must meet degree requirements you are enrolled in
  • you must have completed a specific number of credits in prior term
  • you must meet a specific number of total credits
  • you must maintain a minimum GPA.
