Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

What is SAP? 

SAP or Satisfactory Academic Progress, is a measure of your cumulative GPA and successful completion of classes. 

Undergraduate students: you must maintain a 2.0 or higher cumulative GPA and complete 67% or more of your classes. In addition, for some state and institutional funds, you must earn 12 credits per semester or 24 credits per year to maintain eligibility.

Graduate students: you must maintain a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA or higher and complete 67% or more of your classes.

What is SAP completion rate?

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) completion rate is a measure of the number of classes attempted versus the number earned. For example: you enroll in a class then a month into the class, you drop it. This means you attempted a course but did not complete it.  Each time this occurs your completion rate decreases. 

When is SAP calculated?

SAP is calculated at the end of each semester for federal eligibility; and at the end of each award year (spring) for state and institution aid.

If I lose my aid eligibility, can I get it back?

Yes, there are two ways in which you may receive your aid again. First, by enrolling and successfully completing the next period and being back in compliance with the SAP Policy. Second, by submitting a SAP appeal and, if approved, your aid will be reinstated according to the terms of the approved appeal.

For additional information about SAP, visit the SAP portion of the SAP Website or the University University Catalog.
