When you receive financial aid, federal guidelines require that you make real and measurable progress toward your degree in order to continue to receive aid. This requirement is called Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). If a student is not meeting one of the defined measurable progress standards, their federal financial aid will be suspended. If there are extenuating circumstances, a student may appeal the financial aid suspension, and, if the appeal is granted, begin to receive federal financial aid once again.

The SAP deadline for FALL 2024 is Friday, December 13, 2024. The final date to initiate or complete your Financial Aid SAP Appeal is December 13.

Please note, filing a SAP appeal does not guarantee an automatic approval and reinstatement of financial aid.
