Maintaining Eligibility for Financial Aid

You must maintain satisfactory academic progress. This means you must earn a minimum number of units each semester and you have a maximum number of semesters to earn financial aid. The Federal Government requires schools to set guidelines concerning Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for financial aid recipients. The Financial Aid Office is required to monitor maximum time for completing a degree, minimum units earned per year, and a minimum quality of work, i.e., grade point average (GPA). The chart below outlines these specific requirements. In the event that you are not meeting these requirements, you should contact our office immediately. If you have extraordinary circumstances, you may appeal the guidelines, otherwise, your financial aid will have to be terminated.
