Satisfactory Academic Progress

Title IV Requirements Same or more strict than the college’s standards for a student enrolled in the same educational program who is not receiving assistance under a SFA program; and Includes a qualitative component measurable against a norm; and Includes a quantitative component that consists of maximum timeframe

Qualitative Standards Student must have “C” average by end of second year School may use a graduated grade point average

Quantitative Standards May use number of units completed or percentage of units completed School must set a maximum time frame For undergraduate programs, the maximum cannot exceed 150% Years, credit hours attempted, clock hours Must divide max time frame into increments One academic year or half the length of the program Apply SAP policy at the end of each increment

More on Quantitative School must identify minimum percent or number of units to be completed in each increment School’s policy may use graduated completion percentage for each year

Parts of the Policy Must define units attempted Determination cannot be made based on amount of money the student received Standards must be applied uniformly to all Title IV programs SAP must be applied to summer sessions

Parts of the Policy (cont’d) Must count prior units in maximum time frame if they apply to current program Must include all enrollment periods whether or not student received aid Units “attempted” must be used in determining if student has reached the maximum time frame limit--includes Ws

Parts of the Policy (cont’d) Mitigating circumstances Conditional or probationary periods Completion of degree requirements Minimum standards for full-time enrollment Appeal process

Suspended Students May regain eligibility without aid May appeal suspension for mitigating circumstances Eligible for aid for term when approved Eligible for the loan period Document on a case-by-case basis Taking classes without aid or taking time off from school does not re-establish eligibility

Related Policies Academic amnesty/renewal Withdrawals, grades of “incomplete”, repeated courses, transfer courses, ESL classes, and noncredit remedial coursework A school must count all course attempts when calculating maximum time frame Second degree or change of major

Issues to consider in writing your own SAP Characteristics of your student population Ability of computer system and operators Size and capability of financial aid staff College’s retention goals Resources available on campus

Specific Issues How are remedial and ESL units considered in determining maximum time frame? Up to 30 remedial units may be deducted from the total units attempted All ESL units may be deducted from the total units attempted—there is no limit

Specific Issues (cont’d) What about a student who completes 90 units, which includes a degree and then returns for another degree or certificate program? It depends why they have returned and depends on your professional judgment Consider how many of the 90 units completed apply toward the current educational objective

Specific Issues (cont’d) If a student is taking some units toward his stated goal and other units just for enrichment, can Title IV aid be given for just the applicable units? Yes, Title IV aid may be pro-rated for just the applicable units. However, if the student has not yet reached the 150%, you may award aid for all the units as long as the student is working toward his stated goal.

Specific Issues (cont’d) How do you determine SAP for a student who dropped during the second week and received a PWD? Units attempted would be the same as the units used in the calculation of the PWD SAP is not based on the amount the student was paid
