Standards of Satisfactory Progress Requirements and Procedures (Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy)
Each institution that receives Title IV funds is required by the U.S. Department of Education, Section 132 of the Higher Education Amendment of 1976, to define and enforce standards for satisfactory academic progress. Satisfactory academic progress measures a student’s performance in the following three areas: completion rate, grade point average (GPA), and maximum time frame. The Financial Aid Office is responsible for establishing and monitoring a standard of "satisfactory academic progress" for continuation of financial aid eligibility.
