SAP Completion Ratio

Students must successfully complete 67% of hours attempted to maintain financial assistance eligibility. 

Completion Ratio (Pace) is defined as the rate at which you are progressing (moving) through your program of study. It is calculated by dividing the cumulative number of credit hours the student has successfully completed by the cumulative number of credit hours the student has attempted. Courses in which a grade of A, B, C, D, or P are received are counted as completed. Courses in which a grade of F, I, W, WF, WR or X are received are not counted as completed. If your Completion Ratio falls below 67 percent, then you are not meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Please see graph below.
 

Note: You may modify your initial course schedule up to the last day to drop with a refund. Classes that are dropped during this time period are not included as attempted credit hours.This is a cumulative review of college-level credit hours attempted that are applicable to your current degree or certificate program of study.The Completion Ratio calculation includes the following coursework:

1. Courses with highest grades that satisfy General Education requirements for the specific program
2. Courses with the highest grades that satisfy AS, BS and CERT requirements in the plan and/or subplan*
3. Elective courses (if applicable) with highest grades up to the number of credit hours required for the program (example: AA requires 24 electives)
4. Any courses not in 1, 2 and/or 3 that were attempted to satisfy requirements*
5. Select college-level courses*
