Standard of Satisfactory Academic Progress
for the Purpose of Determining Eligibility for State Student Aid*
Calendar: Semester
Program: Baccalaureate Degree
*This sample standard of satisfactory progress generally would be used to determine continuing eligibility for state support of students who have no “special circumstances.” The progress of students with special circumstances, such as those who have transferred from another institution or have used their waiver, must be monitored on an adjusted schedule.
The number of credits in the chart refers to those courses granting academic credit, in which a student earned a passing grade, which can be counted as credits completed toward a degree. It does not include remedial noncredit instruction.
