Changes in Federal Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Requirements

Revised Federal Regulations mandate KCTCS modify its Satisfactory Academic Policy to hold students to a higher level of accountability. At the end of this Academic term (Fall 2011) all students will be reevaluated to determine if they meet the new Federal requirements for Title IV Financial Aid that went into effect July 1, 2011. Click here for detailed information from KCTCS.

Changes to affect students with Undecided and Pending Majors

Federal guidelines for Federal Financial Aid requires BCTC to make sure that all students choose an approved program plan or major by the time they attempt 30 credit hours. If a student does not choose an approved program plan or major after attempting 30 credit hours, he or she is no longer eligible to receive Federal Financial Aid including student loans.
