Our Timeline 1. Mass SAP snapshot today 5/20: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. For summer enrolled only For Federal SAP- (Status will be on the 20 -21 aid year) For State SAP- Status will be on the 2020 aid year, Term 2205, Based on Term 2203 Communications then Checklist will be sent and set Special groups communicated to as well 2. Mass run of non-summer enrolled students, After June 1, 2020

Adjusted Policy Changes (For Spring 2020) § WSU- Grade Scale Change P/PP/F (IC) § PP, just like the 'P' will not count towards a student’s GPA but will be counted towards PTD and CHC (attempted and completed) § Registrar's Office getting several change requests § Federal and State Flexibilities § The state is allowing for the same flexibilities as federal § Schools can exclude from the quantitative component the calculation of any attempted credits not completed.

Applied changes - The quantitative components applied for exclusion are: • Pace to Degree • Maximum Time Frame • Credit Hour Completion - The credits being considered as “attempted credits that were not completed” are grades received from March 13 th on, in the form of: I, IC, X, Z, and W.

To account for the exclusions, the Federal SAP page will have the exclusions added in the second tab: Summer 19: 4, Fall 19: 8, Spring 20 WAS 16, excluded 14 = 2 (4+8+2= 14) Last snap: 44. 72 NOW Snap: 58. 72 (Difference of 14 Credit Hours)

To account for the exclusions, the State page will have the calculations removed from the related term enrollment component (Credit Hour Completion- CHC) and added to the MTF component. For the State, comments are included on all accounts where the exclusion has been provided.

Continued State Exclusions Page

Extra Considerations: v Great places to look when answering student questions: • State SAP page • Federal Maintain Student SAP Data page • Records and Enrollment – Student Grades page (not on the Student Service • Center- e. g. Student Center shows an “F” grade, when could be a “Z” grade) Enrollment Request Search page (allows you to see when the student dropped/withdrew from courses) v The RB (appeal form) has been updated to streamline the process for students (and us) with situations that are COVID related. v The R 2 checklist (This process has not changed) is on students that were on an academic plan from the end of spring 2020. Those enrolled in summer will be reviewed first. If a student failed their plan, they would have the option to submit an appeal. v Per normal process, we will send a follow up email upon completion of the snapshot. Despite an increase in Summer WCG, since we also have the exclusions, we are expecting to see similar summer numbers as last year.

v There are some select students that will now be in a disqualification status and aid has already disbursed for summer. The students aid will be pulled back until they submit an appeal and it is reviewed and approved. (Process has not changed) v Communication templates have been adjusted regarding updates to policy v The SAP handbook has been updated with the Spring 2020 policy changes. The changes are located at the top as well as in their appropriate sections. v Communications team is working on updating the COVID webpage and 411. v We have a query to identify students that opt into the pass/ fail grade changes until June 1 • This query will be monitored daily after the initial run process and will manually recalculate SAP on them. Students will not need to self-identify. v Academic Advisors have been provided a 'heads up' but we will be talking to and updating them in more detail.
