Included with my award letter was information that says my aid requires that I maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). What does that mean?
• Students must complete the credits for which they receive financial aid. Federal regulations require that schools track SAP in both a qualitative and quantitative way. • Regarding the qualitative measurement, the school measures a student’s GPA. For undergraduate students, they must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. For graduate students, they must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. If a student’s GPA falls below those levels they may be place on Financial Aid Probation or Financial Aid Suspension. • Regarding the quantitative measure, a student must complete the credits for which they receive aid. If a student does not complete the number of credits they received aid for in any given term (e.g. they were awarded for 6 credits and only completed 3 credits), they may go on Financial Aid Probation or Financial Aid Suspension. • A student’s SAP is reviewed at the end of each term in which they receive aid.
