Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

What is Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)?

Federal regulations require that schools monitor the academic progress of each applicant for federal financial aid and that the school certify that the student is making satisfactory academic progress toward earning their degree. This determination of progress must be made at least once a year, typically at the end of the spring semester--after spring grades are released. For students who are already on financial aid probation, SAP is reviewed at the end of each term.
