Academic Progress
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP): Students must be making Satisfactory Academic Progress in order to continue receiving financial aid, including student loans.
In order to be considered as making SAP, students must
- Complete 75 percent of all courses attempted.
- Demonstrate a minimum cumulative GPA of 1.61 at the conclusion of two academic semesters OR
- Demonstrate a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 at the conclusion of four academic semesters and from that point forward.
- Attempt no more than 180 credits, including transfer credits.
In determining SAP, the following information is used:
- Academic Year: Full-time enrollment
for two semesters equals one academic year. The academic year
is prorated for less than full-time students. Important
Note: The number of hours a student is enrolled in at
the end of the first week of classes will be used to determine
full-time or part-time enrollment status for evaluating academic
progress.
- Academic Work Evaluated: The above table
applies to all academic work taken, not just the terms for which
financial aid was received.
- Transfer Students: The amount of time given
a transfer student to complete his or her degree program is
prorated based on the number of credit hours that are transferred
to CNU.
- Academic Good Standing: Students on academic
probation for a second term are not eligible to receive financial
aid. Students who lost their eligibility due to a lack of academic
good standing may regain their eligibility by raising their
GPA to the level where they are no longer on academic probation.
- Appeals: Students with extenuating circumstances
may appeal their case to the Director
of Financial Aid. A successful appeal requires the identification
of a specific problem that prevented the satisfactory academic
progress or academic good standing and evidence that the problem
has been eliminated.
- Complete Policy: This is a synopsis of the
complete policy that is on file in the Office of Financial Aid.
