75procentsgränsen

75procentsgränsen is a term used in Sweden to refer to a threshold, specifically the requirement that at least 75 percent of a university or college course's credits must be completed for a student to be eligible for further student aid from CSN, the Swedish National Board of Student Aid. This rule applies to students who have previously received student aid for the same course of study. The intention behind this regulation is to ensure that students are making sufficient progress in their education before receiving continued financial support.

The 75% rule is a key component of Sweden's student aid system, designed to promote timely completion of studies and prevent prolonged, unfunded education. If a student fails to meet this credit requirement, their eligibility for future student aid for that specific program of study may be suspended. There are, however, specific circumstances under which exceptions can be made, such as documented illness or other compelling reasons that have hindered the student's academic progress. These exceptions are typically assessed on a case-by-case basis by CSN.

The implementation of 75procentsgränsen has been a subject of discussion within Sweden's educational and political spheres, with debates often focusing on its impact on student motivation, accessibility to higher education, and the overall efficiency of the student aid system.
