SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP)

Maintaining Academic Progress: A Guide for Students

At Allen University, your academic success is one of our highest priorities. To help you stay on the right track, we've established guidelines known as Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). These guidelines are designed to ensure that you're making steady and meaningful progress toward completing your degree.

Understanding Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

Here's a breakdown of the criteria that determine your SAP:

Grade Point Average (GPA): Your GPA is a fundamental measure of your academic performance.
Completion Rate: The pace you maintain toward finishing your degree is calculated with a threshold set at 66.5%. This metric helps you stay committed and focused.
Maximum Time Frame Criteria: You are expected to complete your degree within 150% of the typical timeframe for your program. This ensures that you are consistently moving toward graduation without unnecessary delays.

Special Provisions for Transfer Students

We welcome students transferring from other institutions. If you were in good academic standing at your previous college, you'll be eligible for both enrollment and financial aid at Allen University. As a transfer student, you'll be subject to the same SAP standards as our current students, ensuring a unified academic experience for all.

Exceptions and Special Cases

We recognize that each student's situation is unique. If you have exceptional circumstances that affect your ability to meet SAP criteria, exceptions may be considered. These are handled individually based on the details provided.

Staying in line with our SAP guidelines ensures not just academic growth but also eligibility for various financial aid opportunities. Your dedication to academic achievement is a mutual commitment we share for your brighter future.
