Keeping Your Aid

• You must earn at least a 2.0 GPA each quarter and maintain an overall GPA of at least 2.0.

• Your GPA includes all courses taken, including those below the 100 level.

• We assign a GPA of 0.0 for courses with grades of U and V.

• We assign a GPA of 2.0 for courses with an S grade.

• Courses transferred to Edmonds from other schools count in your overall GPA.

• You must complete at least 67% of your attempted credits.

• You may only enroll in required courses needed to complete your program plan.
• You must complete your program plan before you reach 150% of the credits needed to graduate.
  • This 150% of required credits is referred to as the Maximum Time Frame, or "MTF" for short.

You can determine your MTF by looking at how many credits your program requires for graduation. Multiply the number of credits by 1.5:

Required Credits x 1.5 = Credits eligible for aid.

Examples:

• If your program requires you to earn 90 credits to graduate, then you cannot receive aid for more than 135 credits (90 x 1.5 = 135).
• If your program requires you to earn 45 credits to graduate, then you cannot receive aid for more than 68 credits (45 x 1.5 = 68 rounded).

We include the following in your MTF limit:

• All college-level credits (above 100)

• Credits you took that were not required for your program

• All attempted credits, which include grades of W, V, S, U, and X

• Credits you transfer to Edmonds from another school

• All Transcripts that is attached to your student file.

Note: Once you graduate from a program, your MTF resets, and you can work on another program without your previous credits counting toward your MTF.

If you plan to work on two programs at the same time, you must notify us so we can do a separate calculation for both programs.
