Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is a calculation run at the end of every trimester to determine if you are successfully meeting minimum standards in your coursework. These requirements include: Grade Point Average (GPA), Course Completion Rate (CCR), and Maximum Time Frame (MTF).
To meet SAP requirements at the end of every trimester:
Undergraduate Students must maintain:
- A cumulative GPA of at least 2.00
- A minimum course completion rate (CR) of 66.66% of all courses attempted. We calculate GPA using this grading scale.
- The Maximum Time Frame (MTF) for undergraduate programs is 180 credit hours, or 150% the normal duration of the program as measured in credit hours.
Graduate Students must maintain:
- A cumulative GPA of at least 3.00
- A minimum course completion rate (CR) of 66.66% of all courses attempted
- The Maximum Time Frame (MTF) for graduate programs is 150% the normal duration of the program as measured in credit hours. For example:
- For programs with 36 credit hours required, MTF is 54 credits.
- For programs with 39 credit hours required, MTF is 58 credits.
- For programs with 30 credits hours required, MTF is 45 credit hours.
If you fail to meet SAP standards at the end of a trimester, you will enter SAP Warning status and will have 1 trimester to return to good standing. Those who fail to meet SAP standards after the SAP Warning trimester will then enter SAP Probation.
