General Admissions Information

Young Harris College attracts students who demonstrate the ability and motivation to succeed in rigorous liberal arts, science and professional programs. Young Harris College practices a rolling admission policy; however, students are encouraged to apply early in order to ensure adequate course offerings and housing availability. Applicants are considered for admission for fall or spring semesters. Students must be high school graduates (or have obtained a high school equivalency diploma) by the time they matriculate to Young Harris College. The application for admission is accessed at www.yhc.edu/apply.

First- Time Freshman Admissions Process

High school students are eligible to apply after completing their junior year of high school. Acceptance to Young Harris College is based on the applicant’s high school grade point average. See Student Profile for the average GPA and test scores of incoming freshmen. Transcripts must be official and submitted directly from the high school. Students who submit a GED score in lieu of high school completion should submit a minimum college-ready score of 165 in each subject test section.  

Upon receipt of the application, official high school transcript(s), the Office of Admissions will review the student’s application file. If listed on the transcript(s), the Office of Admissions will use the Unweighted GPA supplied by the high school. If the Unweighted GPA is not plainly listed on the transcript(s), the Office of Admissions will calculate the student’s GPA based on all completed high school coursework.

Students who have below a 2.5 Unweighted GPA are required to complete an interview with the Office of Admissions to address academic pitfalls, scholastic attitude, and future educational goals. The Office of Admissions may also require the student to supply ACT or SAT scores to supplement the student’s application file. Young Harris College considers only the math and critical reading portions of the SAT. An assessment of the student’s college readiness will be assessed by the Office of Admissions.

Additionally, students coming to Young Harris College with Dual Enrollment credit from other colleges or universities must submit official college transcripts to receive credit for courses previously completed.

Homeschooled Students

If a student is homeschooled, admission decisions are based on the student’s high school GPA and ACT or SAT scores. Along with the application for admission, students should send a transcript of high school work and official ACT or SAT scores. If the homeschool program has been conducted through a formal program, the transcript should be submitted directly from that homeschool organization. If the parents have designed the curriculum, the transcript should detail subjects studied. If a student has taken the GED, these scores should also be submitted. In some cases, GED scores may be required in order to complete the admissions process.

Financial Aid

(Click here to view the Financial Aid website)

Young Harris College is committed to helping students secure the necessary resources to meet the cost of an excellent education. Financial aid at Young Harris College may take the form of scholarships, grants, loans, and/or Work-Study positions.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed and filed annually by each student seeking need-based financial aid. Young Harris College then develops an award based upon a combination of factors, including the student’s demonstrated financial need as determined by the FAFSA, high school GPA, and SAT or ACT scores.

The Office of Financial Assistance may be contacted for information concerning all application procedures. Financial aid commitments will be made after a student has been accepted for admission.

Young Harris College does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex (including sexual harassment), sexual orientation, ethnic or national origin, religion, age, disabled status, or status as a disabled veteran or veteran of the Vietnam era in administering its financial aid programs.

To be eligible for renewal of financial aid awards each year, students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress in accordance with  federal, state, and institutional policies.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

The U.S. Department of Education mandates that institutions of higher education establish standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for students receiving financial aid.  SAP means a student is progressing through an academic program in a timely manner and successfully completing degree requirements.  Young Harris College applies these standards to all students receiving federal, state, and institutional financial aid.  SAP will be determined at the end of each semester. 

SAP Components

Qualitative (GPA) Requirement - Students are required to maintain a cumulative SAP grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher.  Transfer and Learning Support grades are NOT counted when determining the SAP GPA.  The Office of Financial Aid determines SAP by evaluating the GPA based on the following grades - A, B, C, D, and F.

Pace of Progression (Completion Rate) - Students receiving financial aid must demonstrate measurable progress toward the completion of their degree program. Students are expected to successfully complete a minimum of 67% of their total credit hours attempted.  Transfer credits, including courses taken as a transient student, are included in Pace of Progression calculation.  Grades of A, B, C, and D are considered to be successful completion of a course.  Grades of F, W, and WF are NOT considered to be successful completion of a course.  In addition, hours for repeated courses and hours for which a student received grade forgiveness will be included in the attempted hours’ total.  Completion Rate is determined using the following calculation:

 

Completion rate = cumulative completed hours / by cumulative attempted hours * 100 %

 

Maximum Time Frame - Students must not exceed 150% of the published credit hours required to earn their degree.  For example, a degree which requires 136 hours for completion must not exceed 204 hours (136 x 150% = 204 hours).  Transfer credits, including courses taken as a transient student, are included in the Maximum Time Frame calculation.  Frequent withdrawals from courses, change of major, failed courses, repeated courses, or courses taken that are not related to the degree program, could cause a student to exceed the 150% requirement.   

 

SAP Review Process

The Office of Financial Aid will review SAP at the end of EACH academic semester to determine if students are meeting the minimum standards for EACH of the components (GPA, Completion Rate, and Maximum Time Frame) listed above.  The following are the statuses to be determined:

Meeting SAP - Students who are determined to be in compliance with all of the SAP components will be Meeting SAP and will be eligible for financial aid.

SAP Warning - Students who are NOT meeting the GPA or Completion Rate components of SAP will be placed on SAP Warning for ONE semester following the review.  A student is eligible for financial aid during SAP Warning.  However, if a student is not meeting SAP standards for Maximum Time Frame, they are immediately placed on SAP Suspension and will no longer be eligible for any financial aid.  Students will be notified of their SAP Warning status and will be required to sign an acknowledgment form before their financial aid will be disbursed for the Warning semester.

SAP Suspension - Students who are NOT meeting the GPA or Completion Rate components of SAP at the end of their SAP Warning semester, will be placed on SAP Suspension and will NOT be eligible for ANY financial aid.  Students placed on SAP Suspension will have the opportunity to submit an SAP Appeal if they have extenuating circumstances. 

SAP Probation - Students who have submitted an SAP Appeal that has been approved, will be placed on SAP Probation for ONE semester and will have their financial aid reinstated.  The student will be required to meet with the Academic Success Center as outlined in their SAP Appeal Approval. 

Academic Plan - Students who have submitted an SAP Appeal that has been approved, but, have been determined to need more than one semester to meet SAP requirements, will be placed on an academic plan.  The student will be required to meet with the Academic Success Center and follow the requirements of their academic plan.  

 

SAP Appeal Process

Students who experienced extenuating circumstances that resulted in their not meeting SAP requirements will be allowed to submit an SAP Appeal form to the SAP Appeal Committee.  Extenuating circumstances MUST be due to a situation beyond the student’s control and may include death of an immediate family member, or injury or illness of the student or an immediate family member.  Documentation of the circumstance MUST be submitted with the SAP Appeal.  SAP Appeals must be submitted NO LATER than two weeks prior to the beginning of the semester for which the student is appealing.  Decisions of the SAP Appeal Committee are final. 

If the SAP Appeal is approved and the student is placed on SAP Probation, the student will have ONE semester to meet SAP Requirements.  Students will be eligible for financial aid during their SAP Probation semester.  SAP will be reviewed at the end of the SAP Probation semester, and if the student is NOT meeting the requirements, they will be placed on SAP Suspension for the next semester they enroll. 

If the appeal is approved and the student is placed on an academic plan, the student will be required to meet ALL of the requirements set forth in their academic plan.  SAP will be reviewed at the end of the academic plan semester, and if the student is NOT meeting the requirements, they will be placed on SAP Suspension for the next semester they enroll. 

 

Avoiding SAP Issues

Withdrawing from classes - Sometimes withdrawing from courses is inevitable, however, students should always speak with a financial aid representative prior to withdrawing from courses to see how it may affect their SAP status.  Also, students should speak with their professor to see if there may be a way to avoid withdrawing from courses.

Course Load - Sometimes students take a heavy course load or take too many demanding courses in one semester.  Students should speak with their advisor and/or professors to ensure they are taking the appropriate courses to stay on track academically and to meet the SAP requirements.

Dedication - Before enrolling in courses, students should determine if they have the willingness and ability to put forth the time and effort needed to be successful.

Academic Success Center - Young Harris College has excellent resources in place through the Academic Success Center such as tutoring, peer mentoring, etc.  These resources are helpful to ensure the student’s success in their courses and help them avoid SAP issues.

 

Types of Financial Aid

Young Harris College offers different types of financial aid. Scholarships and grants are considered gift aid and do not have to be repaid, however, loans are funds that must be repaid.  Student employment is considered self-help aid and will require a commitment from the student. There are two principal categories of financial aid: merit-based assistance and need-based assistance.

Merit-Based Assistance

Awarded in recognition of special skills, talent, and/or academic ability, merit-based assistance includes academic, fine arts, and athletic scholarships.

Academic Scholarships are awarded to full-time entering freshmen who are academically qualified based upon their high school GPA and SAT or ACT scores. Students are considered for these scholarships upon completion of the Application for Admission and Academic Scholarships and submission of their official high school transcript and test scores. These scholarships are awarded for up to four years as long as the student meets all renewal criteria.

Transfer Scholarships are awarded to students transferring with 30 or more hours of college-level coursework. Amounts are determined based on the student’s college GPA. Students who have completed fewer than 30 hours of college-level coursework will be considered for freshman scholarships.

Fine Arts Scholarships are awarded to students majoring in art, music, theatre or musical theatre and who demonstrate an outstanding ability in their area of study.  Competition may include an on-campus interview, audition, survey of the applicant’s portfolio, and written recommendations.

Athletic Scholarships are awarded in baseball, softball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis and co-ed cheerleading.  The coaches will interview and evaluate athletic skills of applicants. Interested students should contact the appropriate coach for additional information.

Need-Based Assistance

Need-based assistance, including grants, Work-Study, and loans, is funded from federal, state, and institutional sources. A student’s eligibility to receive need-based assistance is determined by information submitted each year on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Most need-based funds are limited; therefore, you must file the FAFSA in a timely manner. If a student has demonstrated need (the difference between the estimated cost of attendance and the expected family contribution), the Financial Aid Office will offer a financial aid package based on: (1) demonstrated need and (2) academic ability of the student (high school GPA and SAT or ACT scores). For renewal of aid, a continuing student must be making satisfactory progress and must have demonstrated need.

Federal Pell Grant: Eligibility for this grant is based on federal methodology. Awards for full-time enrollment range from $672 to $6,495 for the 2021-2022 academic year. Award amounts will be reduced for less than full-time enrollment.
