An Academic Success Plan (ASP) is developed with an academic advisor in DegreeWorks (or Academic Affairs representative for students on the Keyser campus). You must submit an Academic Success Plan if you are submitting a satisfactory academic progress appeal (due to not maintaining satisfactory academic progress (SAP) standards for financial aid eligibility). This is a roadmap to help you come back into compliance with SAP standards.
The Plan outlines the degree-pursuant credit hours and grade point average (GPA) needed each semester for you to comply with Satisfactory Academic Progress standards. The credit hours listed on the Academic Success Plan must be credit hours in which you are enrolled, and the Plan cannot be for more than three semesters.
If your appeal is approved, you must follow the terms of your Academic Success Plan to remain eligible for financial aid.
Once you have your Academic Success Plan from DegreeWorks saved as a PDF, it must be submitted.
If your satisfactory academic progress appeal is approved, you must adhere to the requirements listed on your Academic Success Plan for the specific semesters they are listed under. You will be reviewed at the end of each semester to ensure you're meeting the terms of your Plan (or to see if you have come in compliance or graduated).
If not meeting the terms of the Academic Success Plan (and if the you have not come into compliance), further aid eligibility is removed immediately for future semesters.
If you do not come into compliance, or do not graduate by the end of the final semester listed on your Plan, you will lose financial aid eligibility moving forward if you do not meet the terms of your Academic Success Plan at any point within the semesters.
If you do not come into compliance with minimum satisfactory academic progress standards for financial aid eligibility or graduate by the end of the final semester listed on your Plan, you will also no longer be eligible for aid. However, you will have options such as appealing again. Should that happen, additional guidance will be provided to you at that time.
At the end of each semester on our Academic Success Plan, you will be reviewed to ensure your Plan was followed, to see if you have come into compliance with minimum satisfactory academic progress standards for financial aid eligibility, or to see if you have graduated. Aid eligibility for any remaining semesters listed on your Plan is contingent upon your adherence to the conditions of your Plan (or coming into compliance).
Students on an approved Plan may add a Winter Intersession Course(s) only if the following criteria is met. No exceptions will be made to the following:
Any updates to the Academic Success Plan for the semester must be received by the WVU Hub no later than 5 business days after the last day to add/drop a course for the semester. Any changes after this date will require the student to submit an appeal to be considered for aid for future semesters.
Please note the only exception to this rule is if the student changes their enrollment for the next semester during the current semester. For example, changes to the student's spring schedule made during the fall semester would not require a new appeal.
If unable to take the classes during the listed semesters, you must develop a new Academic Success Plan with your academic advisor (or Academic Affairs for students on the Keyser campus) and submit a PDF of the new Academic Success Plan to the WVU Hub no later than 5 business days after the last day to add/drop a course from the start of the semester.
