Undergraduate Student Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

Undergraduate Students

Measure	SAP Policy
GPA: Undergraduate students	All students must have a 2.00 overall SAP GPA regardless of grade level. Students who fail to maintain a minimum 2.00 overall SAP GPA are not meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress standards. After attending 91�ֿ� for two calendar years, all students must have a 2.00 overall SAP GPA regardless of grade level. All grades count in the GPA, including grades that are waived under the academic forgiveness policies. Remedial coursework is included in the GPA calculation.
Percent Completion: Undergraduate students	Percent completion will be calculated by dividing overall SAP earned hours by overall SAP attempted hours. For example: If a student attempted 50 credit hours but only successfully completed 40 out of those 50 credit hours, the completion rate would be 80% (40/50=80%). Transfer hours are included in the percent completion calculation. 0-29 SAP earned hours: at least 50% overall completion rate 30-59 SAP earned hours: at least 60% overall completion rate 60+ SAP earned hours: at least 67% overall completion rate Grades of W, WF, WP, F, U, SF, NF, NR, IP, IN and Z will count as zero in the earned hour calculation and will negatively affect the percent completion calculation. Courses in which a student remained registered past the add/drop date and earned a grade of “W” or its equivalent are included in SAP evaluation. In regards to incomplete (IN) grades, once the IN grade is finalized, the new grade would be considered at the next annual SAP evaluation. Students are encouraged to speak with an academic advisor and the Financial, Billing and Enrollment Center prior to withdrawing from a course
Maximum Time Frame: Undergraduate students	Undergraduate students pursuing an associate degree can attempt up to 97 hours. Undergraduate students pursuing a bachelor's degree can attempt up to 180 credit hours. Undergraduate students pursuing an undergraduate certificate program can attempt up to 29 credit hours.

Students must complete their program within 150% of the published length of the program. A student is ineligible when it becomes mathematically impossible for them to complete the program within the maximum timeframe established by the school. Students who lose student aid eligibility due to this standard can regain eligibility for financial aid by submitting a successful SAP Appeal.

Course repeat hours Credit for repeated coursework will only be counted once in earned hours; however, all repeated coursework attempts are counted in attempted hours. This will negatively affect the percent completion rate. See 91�ֿ�’s Course Repeat Policy in the University Catalog for guidance on how repeating courses affect grade point average and total hours for graduation.
