Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

 

For Cuyamaca College, SAP standards are evaluated by measuring the maximum time frame and pace of progression a student takes to complete their degree objective (Quantitative 标准)和学生的GPA(定性标准).  These standards are evaluated 在申请联邦财政援助基金时,新申请人和 at the end of each enrollment period (fall, spring and/or summer) for continuing applicants.  SAP标准适用于所有学生,无论以前的经济援助历史如何.  

 

Financial aid eligibility requires students to declare a major in an eligible program, 无论是副学士学位(AA/AS),成就证书(CA), or a Transfer Program.  Students are expected to:

 

  • Meet with an academic counselor to create an educational plan which outlines the courses they have completed and are required to complete to achieve their educational goal at Cuyamaca College.  
  • Use their educational plan, class schedule, college catalog and other college publications 帮助他们完成他们所宣布的学习计划.  
  • Enroll ONLY in courses required for their program to ensure meeting SAP requirements.

令人满意的学业进步(SAP)被教育部定义为 学生完成某一教育目标所需的正常时间 cannot exceed 150% of the length of the program. Length of program can vary based on program requirements.  要获得经济资助,你的教育目标必须 获得副学士学位、证书或转学到四年制大学.
