满意的学业进步(SAP)政策

To be eligible for financial aid, a student must make satisfactory academic progress. The Department of Education considers a satisfactory academic progress policy to be reasonable if it meets both the qualitative and quantitative criteria. Please review below for the eligibility requirements and 常见问题 for SAP. 所有的学生 enrolled in any number of units who have a FAFSA, CADAA应用程序, or have any awards posted are run through SAP annually, 通常在每年6月. Students who are not meeting SAP are notified via email.

重要提示

  • 学生 不符合SAP要求被终止 from receiving financial aid for the following academic year. At the end of the following academic year, if the student earns at least 66.67 percent of attempted units and meets the GPA standard, the student will have re-qualified and is once again eligible for financial aid.

  • SAP is evaluated  at the end of each academic year, after spring semester grades are posted. 所有的学生 are evaluated on the three eligibility requirements. Students who fail to meet SAP will be notified via email in June.

  • Students with a SAP appeal approved in the Fall semester will have their SAP status evaluated during Spring semester -- based on the term of your probationary period, 正如你在上诉书中所说的.

Students may appeal for fall and spring, but appeals are 不接受 for summer. Students can appeal for extenuating circumstances that prevented them from meeting the SAP requirement. Examples of extenuating circumstances are illness, 住院治疗, 家庭中的死亡, or other circumstances that interfered with the student meeting SAP. Students must also include a statement indicating what has changed and how they will be able to meet SAP requirements by the next evaluation period.

 

Students who fail both qualitative and quantitative are required to complete both appeals, as the links to both forms will be on the student's email.

 

一旦上诉被审查, students will be notified via email whether the appeal has been approved or denied. SAP for students with approved appeals will be monitored at the end of the semester (end of fall for fall approved appeals or end of spring for spring approved appeals). Students whose appeals have been denied will be monitored at year end SAP (the end of spring) and will be reinstated if they meet the SAP standards.
