When a student wishes to withdraw one (1) or more subjects (partial withdrawal), certain factors must be considered to determine the effects that the withdrawal will have on the student and in this way inform the student about the consequences of their decision.

One of the advantages of an officially withdrawn subject is that it will not be considered for the calculation of the academic index.

The points that must be considered when making the partial withdrawal are the following:

For this, verify an internal record of the student, considering his / her academic record in both the current and previous courses, if that is the case.

Notify the Student of the Consequences of Partial Withdrawals:

  • The student may withdraw the same subject a maximum of three times during the race (Art. 60 Academic Regulations).

  • Check if the subject is a prerequisite of another. For example: If the student withdraws General Chemistry this semester, it will not be able to take Inorganic Chemistry in the following semester.
  • If the student participates in the Federal Loan program, it is necessary to appear before the Department of Financial Assistance, where they will be given the necessary guidance on the policies of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) and Time and Average, as well as the impact of these Regulations on your eligibility for federal loans.

TOTAL, REMOVALS:

The student may make a maximum of two (2) total withdrawals during his or her career. The withdrawn semester is that it will not be considered for the calculation of the academic index.

For a first total withdrawal, the student must justify to the corresponding address, the reasons for the same. If the situation warrants it, the Management will send the student to the Counseling and Psychology Department for evaluation and recommendations.

Any student of US nationality or residence who is enrolled in any of our academic programs is required to be eligible for Federal Assistance to maintain satisfactory Academic Progress, considering the parameters and conditions set forth in our Policy, as we shall see below.

Satisfactory Progress Policy

Universidad Central del Este
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP)
Title IV Direct Loan Purposes
Satisfactory Academic Progress Overview:

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) represents an acceptable level of performance in meeting degree requirements within specific time periods. Students maintain SAP by meeting the requirements of the Academic Regulations published on the university website. Students are urged to become familiar with the rules and regulations. The Registrar’s office evaluates each students’ academic progress at the completion of each semester.

Students who are U.S. student loan borrowers have an additional level of SAP which must be reviewed by the Financial Aid Office (FAO) at the end of each semester/payment period and prior to the disbursement of funds. This review is done in accordance with the U.S. Title IV regulations with the purpose of ensuring that students not achieving SAP, do not receive financial aid, and to reinstate financial aid when the student regains satisfactory academic progress status.

Title IV Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

Title IV SAP (T4 -SAP) is reviewed separately from the academic progress reviews. At the end of each semester the Financial Aid Office reviews borrower’s academic transcripts to determine if the student is maintaining satisfactory academic progress. The review includes both qualitative and quantitative elements measuring whether the student can successfully complete the degree program within 150% of the published length of the program.

The reviews are handled for each group of students as follows:

Undergraduate 1st year students
with no previously attempted post-secondary coursework are considered as meeting SAP for their first semester.
New Graduate Students
with no transfer coursework being applied to their graduate level transcript are considered as meeting SAP during their first semester.
Continuing Students, Returning Students and Transfer Students
have their last semesters transcript reviewed to determine if they are making SAP.

Evaluation Based on Qualitative and Quantitative Criteria:

There are two criteria a student must satisfy to be viewed as making T4 -SAP: Qualitative (Grade Point Average), Quantitative (Attempted Credit Threshold) which includes a measurement of the pace on which the student is progressing through their program.

All non-remedial institutional and transfer coursework including repeated courses, attempted by the student regardless of whether the student received U.S. Financial aid for the coursework are included in the FAO’s SAP review. Repeated courses and courses with grades of Incomplete or Withdrawal while may not be included in cumulative GPA, are included in the student's attempted credit total for the determination of Pace and Attempted Credit Threshold.

Qualitative Standard: The qualitative standard measures whether the student has achieved the minimum cumulative Grade Point Average required to make satisfactory academic progress toward the degree. UCE’s students must have achieved a cumulative average of at least a “C”. Grades not included in the Grade Point Average are:

  • P (AP) Pass
  • F(RE) Fail
  • I Incomplete
  • W(RO) Withdrew
  • AU Audit
  • IP(CU) Incremental/In Progress

GPA: Grade Point Average is the quotient obtained by dividing the total quality points by the total quality hours. A “C” Grade Point Average (2.00) is the academic standard required to graduate from the Universidad Central del Este.

Quantitative Standard/Attempted Credit Threshold: The number of credit hours for which a student may receive U.S. Federal Aid may not exceed 150% of the credit hours required to complete the degree. The quantitative measure evaluates the student’s pace of progression through the education program within the maximum timeframe. The pace of progression is calculated by dividing the cumulative course credits that the student has successfully completed by the cumulative course credits that the student has attempted. Students are subject to a pace of progression rate of 66.66%.

Consequences of Failure to Maintain T-4 SAP

Warning Status: The first time an SAP review finds the student has not maintained T4 -SAP, the student is given the status of "Financial Aid Warning” and may continue to receive one U.S. federal loan disbursement. However, the student is expected to meet the minimum standards (2.0 GPA and a minimum 66.67% overall completion rate) by the end of the warning semester in order to continue to receive financial aid. Failure to meet the minimum standards after a warning semester results in termination of eligibility for Direct Loans.

Termination of Eligibility: The Financial Aid Office will send the student written notification (in most cases by email) that their eligibility for Direct Loans has been terminated in the following cases:

  • Students that fail to meet the requirements of the warning or probation status.
  • Students that may be readmitted or a first-time applicant whose prior coursework is below the minimum SAP threshold, and thus ineligible for U.S. Federal aid unless the student submits a successful appeal.
  • Students that have exceeded the maximum time frame limits for the degree.
