What is Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)?
Satisfactory Academic Progress, or SAP, is a federal regulation requiring the U-M Office of Financial Aid to monitor the academic progress of each student who is receiving financial aid as they move toward completing their degree. Students who withdraw from a term, fall behind in their coursework, fail to achieve minimum standards for grade point average, or fail to complete classes in a maximum time frame may lose eligibility for all types of federal, university, and state aid administered by our office.
