What is SAP and how does it impact my degree progress?

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is a federal policy that requires students to meet the following three academic conditions to maintain financial aid eligibility:

  • Maintain a cumulative GPA at or above 2.0. by the annual SAP evaluation period that occurs at the end of each academic year.
  • Complete 67% of all units attempted cumulatively (including accepted transfer units) during your undergraduate career.
  • Attempted units (including accepted transfer units) must not exceed 150% of the published length of your degree program.



If a student does not meet the SAP requirements, they have the opportunity to appeal the decision and request for their financial aid eligibility to be reinstated. The student should use the SAP appeal to outline the circumstances that may have led to academic difficulty as well as highlighting progress/improvement in your pathway moving forward. For guidance on how to go navigate the SAP appeal process, meet with a Financial Aid & Scholarships Office Advisor and/or the EOP Degree Completion Counselor
