Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

In accordance with federal regulations, the Grossmont College Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy requires review of each student’s academic record at the end of each academic term. Pace of progression/maximum time frame (quantitative) and GPA (qualitative) standards apply to all financial aid students regardless of previous financial aid history. The standards detailed below explain the standards, disqualification and reinstatement by appeal processes that must be met in order to maintain eligibility for all federal programs, including Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Work Study (FWS), and Federal Direct Loans as well as the state Cal Grant programs.

 

Financial Aid SAP standards are separate and distinct from general academic policies, and apply only to financial aid applicants. A similar but separate academic progress policy applies to the California College Promise Grant (formerly known as the Board of Governors [BOG] Fee Waiver).
