SAP Policy

To maintain satisfactory academic progress, undergraduate students with 16 or more attempted hours and graduate/doctoral students with 9 or more attempted hours must meet SAP requirements. After the Fall Quarter 2011 SAP evaluation, the next SAP evaluation is scheduled to occur at the end of Spring Quarter 2012.

Please note: Attempted credit hours are those credit hours for which students have received a grade of A, B, C, D, F, I, K, M, N, P, U, W, or X. Transfer credit hours and repeated coursework are included in total attempted credit hours. The attempted hours for a course in which a student receives an M grade will be considered credits earned.

SAP Requirements

1. Cumulative GPA

Undergraduate students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.
Graduate/doctoral students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.

2. Completion Rate (67% Rule)

Undergraduate and graduate/doctoral students must earn 67% of their attempted credit hours. The percentage is calculated by dividing the total number of earned credit hours by the total number of attempted credit hours.

3. Maximum Timeframe (150% Rule)

Students must complete their program of study within 150% of the standard timeframe required to earn their degree. The maximum timeframe is 150% of the number of credit hours needed to complete degree requirements.

Undergraduate / Associate Degree	155
Undergraduate / Bachelor's Degree	318
Graduate	113
Doctoral	225

SAP Status

Financial Aid Satisfactory: The student has met SAP requirements and is eligible for federal student aid.

Financial Aid Unsatisfactory: The student has not met SAP requirements and is ineligible for federal student aid. Students will remain ineligible for federal student aid unless they successfully appeal or re-establish their eligibility on their own. Students are not eligible to receive federal student aid for any term in which they have been assigned an Unsatisfactory SAP status.

Financial Aid Probation: The student has successfully appealed an Unsatisfactory SAP status and is eligible for federal student aid for one term. After the end of the term, the student must meet SAP requirements in order to qualify federal student aid for subsequent terms.
