Satisfactory Academic Progress

Federal regulations require all student financial aid recipients to make satisfactory academic progress (SAP) toward achieving a degree. The review of satisfactory academic progress must include both quantitative and qualitative components. This is measured by the student’s cumulative grade point average and pace of credits earned in relation to those attempted and the length of the academic program. Full details are included in the SAP policy below.

Appeal Submission Information:

SAP appeals and academic reviews may be submitted at any time, but it is best to appeal early to prevent delays in your financial aid if approved. See our Important Dates to review the priority deadlines, which are the dates by which you should submit your appeal to ensure it is reviewed prior to the start of class.

SAP GPA Type:

The Inclusive Combined GPA is used to determine SAP status. Students may view their Inclusive Combined GPA on OneStop > Web Self Service > Student > Student Records > Student GPA.
