Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
To retain financial aid, students must reapply annually by the established deadlines and maintain satisfactory academic progress.
The Higher Education Amendments require that colleges and universities provide federal aid to those students who are in good academic standing and making satisfactory progress in a degree program. The U.S. Department of Education requires that students make satisfactory academic progress (i.e., successfully complete at least 66 percent of attempted courses) and maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0. The Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) guidelines are available in the Financial Aid Department. Students are responsible for reading and adhering to these guidelines.
