- Students must have continuous full-time enrollment
- Students must be registered for 12 or more hours as of the 14th day of the semester to receive TOPS for that semester
- A student must earn 24 hours between the Fall, Winter Intercession,
and Spring semesters with a “D” or better in order to keep
TOPS. Summer session and advanced placement do not
count towards
the 24
hours.
- Students must have a 2.0 cumulative GPA at the end of the Fall semester to receive TOPS in the Spring. This applies to all 3 awards.
- Students must meet cumulative GPA requirements at the end of the Spring semester:
- 2.3 Cumulative GPA (1st academic year)
- 2.5 Cumulative GPA (all subsequent academic years)
- The cumulative GPA is reported, which is all courses and all grades including repeats.
- Students whose awards are suspended for failure to maintain the
required GPA or steady academic progress may be reinstated
upon attainment of the required GPA, provided that the period
of ineligibility did
not persist for more than two years (one year for Tech Award)
and the student had maintained continuous, full-time enrollment.
- It is recommended that students fill out a FAFSA renewal each academic year. The renewal forms are available beginning January 1st of each year. Priority deadline is May 1st of each year. You can renew your FAFSA at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/
