To remain eligible for Federal Financial Aid a student must make Satisfactory Progress in both Academic and Attendance. The Department of Education considers a student to be meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) by meeting both qualitative and quantitative criteria.
Evaluations are maintained in the student file. The school will develop an academic and/or attendance plan to address the specific needs of those students who fail to meet the academic and/or attendance requirements at specific SAP evaluation points. A leave of absence will extend the student’s contract period and maximum time frame by the same number of days taken in the leave of absence.
The institution requires its students to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) as established by the Department of Education, to continue to matriculate at the school and to continue to be eligible to participate in the federal government’s Title IV, HEA financial aid programs. These standards apply to all students, regardless of the source of the student’s funding, and to all students, regardless if their status (full-time, 3-day program or part-time).
