Maricopa Community Colleges Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for Financial Aid Eligibility Federal regulations (CFR 668.32(f) and 668.34) require a student to move toward the completion of a degree or certificate within an eligible program when receiving financial aid. Specific requirements for academic progress for financial aid recipients are applied differently than Scholastic Standards. Federal regulations state that Academic Progress Standards must include a review of all periods of enrollment, regardless of whether or not aid was received. Students will be evaluated using the standards described below. Failure to meet any of these minimum standards will result in loss of Title IV, HEA program (federal financial aid) eligibility. Evaluation Period Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) will be evaluated at the end of each semester or payment period; Fall, Spring, and Summer. Programs less than one year in length will be evaluated at the midpoint of the program. Non- standard sessions will be evaluated at the completion of the session. Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (for Credit Hour students) Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) are evaluated on each of the three (3) measurements outlined below. Failure to meet any of these standards will result in suspension of eligibility for financial aid. Note: Grades of F, I, N, W, X, Y, Z, and courses not yet graded are considered attempted but not meeting progress standards for the purposes of financial aid. Grade Point Measurement: Students must meet the following credit hour/cumulative grade point average (CGPA): Total Credits Attempted / *Minimum CGPA Less than 15.75 1.60 16-30.75 1.75 31-45.75 1.90 46+ 2.00 *for which grade points are computed Pace of Progress Measurement: Students must successfully complete 2/3 (66.67%) of all attempted course- work. Maximum Time Frame Measurement: Students have attempted more than 150% of the published credits required for their program of study are considered not meeting SAP. Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (for Clock Hour students) Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for Clock Hour students are evaluated on attendance and graded coursework. Students must meet the following criteria: • Students must complete with a passing grade (C, P, or better) all coursework attempted and graded, within that evaluation period/payment period. • Students must meet occupational competencies required at the time of evaluation (the progress report sent to the financial aid department must indicate passing all competencies related to the prior payment period). • Students must attend at least 90% of every class assigned to them during the evaluation period/payment period (some programs may require the student to attend 100% of all hours in their program) and cannot extend the length of their program more than 110%.
