TG Webinar


Satisfactory Academic Progress

The Higher Education Act requires a student to maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP) in his or her course of study to be eligible for federal student aid. That seems simple enough. However, the duality of SAP’s quantitative and qualitative standards, along with frequency, consistency, and consumer information requirements, can confound even someone versed in the regulations. To provide some help in understanding SAP, TG presents a free webinar.

Among other things, the session will address special circumstances with regard to SAP, including how to apply SAP requirements to:

  • transfer students,
  • students who change majors,
  • students with completion issues, and
  • a school’s academic amnesty policy.

In addition, the presentation explains how a student regains eligibility and related issues. A brief question and answer session will follow the presentation.
