The U.S. Department of Education requires students receiving federal financial aid to meet university academic status standards ensuring academic progress toward a degree or certificate program of study. Assessment of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is conducted at the close of spring semester. To meet the university’s academic status standards, students must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.000. Students are expected to maintain the necessary credit hours to ensure graduation within 10 semesters. Failure to maintain these standards will, at a minimum, place the student on financial aid warning status. If a student does not meet the university’s academic status standards after a warning period, he or she may become ineligible to receive federal financial aid. An appeal process is available for students who have lost financial aid eligibility due to failure to maintain SAP. Contact the Financial Aid office for more information.
