How Can I Resume Good Academic Standing while I am in SAP?

If you are in SAP Warning, SAP Probation, or SAP Suspension status there are a few things you can do to return to Good Academic standing. Be sure to reach out to your Success Counselor with additional questions or concerns:

  • Earn passing grades
    • Undergraduate students need at least C's or better to pass all classes, though a higher grade may be required to move out of SAP Status.
    • Graduate students need at least B-'s or better to pass all classes, though a higher grade may be required to move out of SAP Status. 
  • Be cautious of your Completion Rate
    • Your Completion Rate (number of credits earned divided by credits attempted) must be 66.66% or higher. 
  • Repeat failed courses immediately
        ***Be sure to speak with your Success Counselor if you plan to repeat a course in which you earned a "D" or a "C" as this is calculated differently than a Failing grade.
  • Consider reducing your course load if you are taking concurrent classes
    • Remember that withdrawing after the drop/add period will negatively impact your Completion Rate 
  • Consider taking some time off if you have personal, medical, or work-related Issues at this time
    • Remember, you have one full trimester to return to Good Academic Standing.
  • Contact your Success Counselor if you need to adjust your academic plan. In some circumstances, your plan may be revised.
  • Use your resources such as the Writing Center, tutoring, and the library.
