Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) must be maintained while receiving federal, state and institutional aid at Saginaw Valley State University. There are three measurements for Satisfactory Academic Progress:

  • SVSU cumulative grade point average (GPA)
  • Percentage of attempted courses completed, and
  • Maximum credit hours needed in which to complete a degree

Students must meet all three measurements. Students are reviewed at the end of EACH SEMESTER. Students who fail to meet satisfactory academic standards after a semester will receive one subsequent semester of aid while in Financial Aid Warning status. Students who are on financial aid warning can receive federal, state and institutional aid as long as they meet all eligibility requirements. At the end of the warning period, a student who still has not met the standards will lose their eligibility for federal, state and institutional aid.
