Satisfactory Academic Progress

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is a federal government requirement which obligates the financial aid office to evaluates the progress of all students receiving government and State aid. You can view the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy here. All SAP information is reviewed and voted on by a committee. The SAP decision is final unless a student omits vital circumstances that directly affect the student’s ability to study.

The following forms are required upon submitting the SAP papers for review:

  • Letter to SAP appeals committee – Students must submit a typed letter to the appeals committee detailing any and all extraordinary circumstances which may have adversely affected academic performance. The letter should outline any changes made that will lead the student to academic success.
  • SAP Appeal Form
  • Any supporting documents that explain relevant circumstances
