Attempted Credits + Transfer Credits Cumulative GPA 1-26 2.0 27-59 2.0 60 and above 2.0 II. Earned Hours (Compared to Attempted Hours): It is recommended that students attempt to earn at least two-thirds of the credits required per academic year in order to complete graduation requirements in four years. To remain eligible for financial aid, students must earn at least 67% of total cumulative hours attempted. For financial aid purposes, the following definitions and conditions apply: To earn hours at Manhattan College, one must receive a grade of A, B, C, or D* (including “+” and “-”). All other grades, including F, I or W do not earn hours. *Certain grades will not fulfill the academic requirements of a student’s major/ degree. Refer to the catalog section on grading policies. Classes from which a student withdraws after the drop/add period count as attempted but not earned hours. Therefore, withdrawing from classes after the drop/add period negatively affects students’ ability to satisfy the hours earned standard. When a student repeats a course, the total attempted hours will increase with each repeat, but the student may only earn hours for a successfully completed course once. Therefore, repeating courses may negatively affect a student’s ability to satisfy the hours earned standard. Accepted transfer credit counts as both attempted and earned hours. III. Maximum Time Limit: To remain eligible for financial aid, undergraduate students must complete their degree requirements within 150 percent of the published length of their academic program. At Manhattan College, for example, this means that students in programs requiring 120 hours for graduation are eligible for financial aid during the first 180 attempted hours as an undergraduate.
