In accordance with federal regulations, the Grossmont大学 Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy requires review of each student’s academic record at the end of each academic term. Pace of progression/maximum time frame (quantitative) and GPA (qualitative) standards apply to all financial aid students regardless of previous financial aid history. The standards detailed below explain the standards, disqualification and reinstatement by appeal processes that must be met in order to maintain eligibility for all federal programs, including Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Work Study (FWS), and Federal Direct Loans as well as the state Cal Grant programs.
太阳城娱乐 SAP standards are separate and distinct from general academic policies, and apply only to financial aid applicants. A similar but separate academic progress policy applies to the California College Promise Grant (formerly known as the Board of Governors [BOG] Fee Waiver).

Students must declare a specific academic goal and major area of study by choosing
the degree or certificate program that best suits their educational goals. The catalog
lists the requirements for various majors and not all goals and majors are eligible
for financial aid payment. If undecided about a major course of study, it is recommended
that students meet with an academic counselor.
在接受经济援助期间， 学生必须保持最低学期和总GPA 2.0 or greater. A student's overall GPA is also evaluated whenever a student applies for 太阳城娱乐 and the minimum 2.0 GPA standard must be met. Furthermore, students enrolled in an Associate degree or Transfer program must have an overall 2.0 GPA after two years. The Department of Education has defined two academic years as the equivalent of 4 terms, regardless of enrollment status.
（进度/数量PACE）
Students must meet the SAP standards listed below to make certain their overall completion rate is at least 67% to ensure an acceptable Pace of Progression. Pace of Progression is calculated by dividing the number of units completed by the number of overall units 尝试 to calculate the student's completion rate. Example: a student has 65 units completed and 80 overall units 尝试. By dividing the 65 units completed by 80 units 尝试 the result is an 81% completion rate.
Satisfactory progress is defined by the Department of Education as a normal length of time for a student to achieve an educational objective that cannot exceed 150% of the length of the student's academic program. Since most Grossmont大学 Associate degree programs and GE Transfer programs are approximately 60 units, students will be expected to complete their educational objective by the time they have 尝试 90. This includes change of majors and degree objectives. Students will be expected to complete their educational objective for a Certificate by the time they have 尝试 45 units.
The maximum time frame will not be extended for students who change academic programs or have prior degrees or certificates.
Units not completed (F's, Withdrawals, Incomplete's and NP's) are added to the total number of units completed to calculate the overall number of units a student has尝试确保学生不超过150%的单位上限。

CA state assembly bill 789 (AB789), schools can no longer advertise SAP appeal deadline dates. Students may submit an appeal at any time. It is important to note, however, that federal financial aid regulations require that a student establish eligibility prior to the end of the term in which they are seeking financial aid. The financial aid office needs reasonable time to process appeals, so students that submit an appeal during the last two weeks of any term may not be able to establish eligibility prior to the end of the term.
Students who are approved through the Appeals process will be placed on Financial Aid 缓刑 and are eligible for financial aid.
Students on 太阳城娱乐 缓刑 must make SAP according to SAP general standards above by the end of the following term and may also need to meet the conditions set by the Appeals Committee to maintain financial aid eligibility. If they do not, they will need to submit an additional petition for the following term.
