SAP Dismissal Appeal

A Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeal is for students who are no longer meeting the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress standards. This may occur if your cumulative:

  • Grade Point Average (GPA) falls below 2.00, and/or

  • Pace of Completion falls below 66.67%.

Students who do not meet these standards are not eligible to receive financial aid unless eligibility is reinstated through an approved appeal or by meeting SAP standards in a future term.

If circumstances beyond your control affected your academic performance, you may submit a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeal.
