What is Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)?

UCF’s Financial Aid website provides detailed information about the University’s Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. In order to meet University standards for satisfactory progress, students must maintain a minimum GPA, complete a certain ratio of the courses they’ve attempted (meaning, they have completed those classes with a grade of A, B, C, D, or S, and have not failed or withdrawn), and graduate within a certain amount of credit hours attempted (varies by program). To learn more about the specific requirements, view the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.

When a student fails to meet these requirements, they become ineligible for certain types of federal financial aid unless they complete an appeals form and are approved. This appeals form requires help from the College advising office in order to complete.
