student is making progress toward a degree<\/a> as a standard for participating in any federal student aid program.<\/p>\nThe State of New York also requires students to meet satisfactory academic progress to receive any state-funded student assistance. Student financial aid programs were created and funded to help students achieve access to higher education and accomplish academic goals. To receive funds administered by One-Stop Student Services Center, students must complete a degree plan and be making measurable progress toward completion of an eligible degree or certification. Federal regulations require evaluation of both quantitative and qualitative progress.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)?<\/h2>\n
SAP is a set of standards that measure your academic progress toward completing your degree. These standards include:<\/p>\n
\n- Completion Rate<\/strong>: Successfully completing enough courses in each academic year<\/li>\n
- GPA Requirements<\/strong>: Maintaining a certain Grade Point Average (GPA):\n
\n- Undergraduate students require a 2.0 GPA per semester and cumulative<\/li>\n
- Graduate students require a 3.0 GPA per semester and cumulative<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Federal and state financial aid programs require students to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress standards to remain eligible for funding. Falling behind on SAP can jeopardize your financial aid, but there are steps you can take to regain eligibility.<\/p>\n
When is SAP Reviewed?<\/h2>\n
Your academic progress is evaluated at the\u00a0end of every spring semester. If you meet the GPA and credit completion requirements, you will remain eligible for financial aid.<\/p>\n
What Happens If You Don\u2019t Meet SAP?<\/h2>\n
If you fail to meet SAP standards, you may lose eligibility for federal and institutional financial aid. However, you have options to appeal this decision if you\u2019ve experienced extenuating circumstances, such as:<\/p>\n
\n- Medical issues (for you or a close family member)<\/li>\n
- Death in the family<\/li>\n
- Other significant personal challenges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Appeal<\/h3>\n
You can submit a\u00a0<\/span>Plan of Study Contract\/SAP Waiver<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>through the Office of Academic Services and Retention. If your appeal is approved, you\u2019ll be placed on\u00a0<\/span>Financial Aid Probation\u00a0<\/span>for one semester. During this time, you\u2019ll work with an advisor to create an Academic Plan\u00a0to improve your progress and regain eligibility.<\/p>\nAcademic Plan for Probation<\/h2>\n
If you\u2019re placed on probation, an advisor from the Office of Academic Services and Retention will help you develop a plan to get back on track. By following this plan and demonstrating improvement, you can continue receiving financial aid without needing an additional waiver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
