Satisfactory Academic Progress. For students to receive financial aid (state, federal, institutional) they must meet satisfactory academic progress (SAP) standards. This involves making the required GPA within a specified timeframe, successfully completing 67 percent of all classes attempted and not exceeding 186 attempted hours. Failure to meet all required parameters will result in a SAP failure and financial aid suspension until SAP requirements are met or the student has a granted appeal.
