Financial Aid and SAP (Satisfactory Academic Progress)
Federal regulations and CSU-Global policy require that students who are receiving federal financial aid (FA) must make academic progress as defined by the Academic Expectations Policies.
Failure to make good academic progress while in SAP Warning may result in a students eligibility for FA to be suspended. When a student becomes ineligible for FA due to the SAP policy, they may be able to regain eligibility by a successful appeal based on an extenuating circumstance that occurred during the timeframe stated in their SAP Warning.
**It is important to note students will most likely need to seek alternative financing options during the SAP Probation period, such as paying out of pocket or with a non-federal loan. Upon return to good academic standing, students may resume FA eligibility.
