Satisfactory academic progress (SAP) is the process a school uses to determine if a student is meeting all of their educational requirements and is on target to graduate on time with a degree or certificate.
The Federal Student Aid Programs require a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0, successful completion of at least 67% of attempted credits and no more than 150% of required credits for a program must be attempted (also known as lifetime limit) to continue to be eligible to receive federal financial aid. The state of Florida mandates eligibility requirements for continued access to state grant and scholarships. Stetson University has established minimum academic standards required to continue receiving institutionally funded financial assistance, including merit-based scholarships and need-based grants.

Students deemed ineligible for federal aid may appeal the status. Appeals will be considered on the basis of mitigating circumstances, such as personal illness or injury or the death of an immediate family member. Use this form to submit a SAP appeal.
