Academic Standing: Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

Students' progress according to SAP guidelines is measured at the end of each semester in order to determine academic and financial aid eligibility for future semesters. For a more detailed description of the College policy, please see Maintaining Eligibility for Financial Aid. In order to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress, students must continue to meet the following:

  • Earn a 2.00 semester (term) grade point average or higher for the most recent fall or spring semester.
  • Earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or higher.
  • Complete a minimum number of credits for each academic year (based on Federal Financial Aid completion rates).
  • Complete all degree requirements within a specified time-frame.

Please see Student Standings for the SAP student status categories.
