I successfully appealed to have my financial aid eligibility restored, but have been put on Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Financial Aid Probation. What does this mean?
If you are put on financial aid probation, your reinstatement of financial aid eligibility is contingent on your academic progress being reviewed at the end of each semester. As a condition of your approval, you must sign an SAP Probation Agreement that will explain the terms and requirements of your financial aid probation.
Students on SAP financial aid probation will be monitored for improvement and adherence to probationary terms, including their Academic Recovery Plan. For example, an undergraduate student on SAP financial aid probation is expected to achieve a semester grade point average of 2.0 or above, not receive an "I" in any coursework, and receive a "P" in each Pass/Fail course. For graduate-level students, the minimum GPA requirement is determined by the academic unit. The terms of SAP financial aid probation will be at least as strict as any terms of academic probation set by your academic unit.
You may continue to receive aid while on SAP financial aid probation, but your progress will be reviewed before your financial aid for the next term is released. This may result in your financial aid payment being delayed, especially if we are waiting on instructors to submit grades.
You will remain on probation until your academic performance again meets the minimum guidelines for maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress. If you fail to meet the terms of probation, your eligibility for financial aid will be terminated immediately and you may not re-appeal for the same reason probation was previously granted.
