SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC
PROGRESS (SAP)
To measure satisfactory
academic progress (SAP), the Financial Aid Office uses the following
policy:
- Complete at least
67% of the units you attempt each semester
- Maintain a 2.0
Grade Point Average
- Complete your
educational objectives within 150% of the published length of your
educational program. (All units of ESL and 30 units of remedial courses
are excluded from the maximum.) Units from other schools will count
towards unit maximum based on the number of units accepted by the
Skyline Admissions and Records Office after you have submitted an
official academic transcript.
Satisfactory academic
progress is monitored each semester.
SPECIAL "SAP"
CONSIDERATIONS¸
- Transfer courses:
Courses taken at other colleges will be counted when calculating a student’s
maximum timeframe if the courses apply toward Skyline degree or certificate
requirements. Students with a Bachelor’s Degree are not eligible
for Pell Grant or FSEOG funds. Courses not accepted as transfer credits
by Admissions and Records will not be counted in the Satisfactory Progress
assessment.
- Repeat Policy:
Students may repeat courses for financial aid purposes, provided the
courses are allowed under the district’s repeat policy as specified
in the college catalog. All repeated courses will be included in the
maximum timeframe, the GPA, and the completion rate assessment
- ESL Courses:
ESL courses are not counted in the maximum timeframe for Satisfactory
Academic Progress.
- Remedial Courses:
Thirty (30) units of remedial coursework will be exempt from the maximum
timeframe evaluation.
- Incomplete Courses:
Incomplete ("I") grades will be considered as "attempted"
coursework, but will not be considered "completed".
- Progress in Summer
sessions:
The Summer session is evaluated for Satisfactory Academic Progress.
- Disbursement of
loans for students on Financial Aid Probation:
Students on Financial Aid Probation do not qualify for Federal Stafford
Loans.
