Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy – Undergraduate Programs

ECPI University’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy for Undergraduate Programs measures whether eligible undergraduate students are progressing at a responsible rate towards the completion of their educational objectives. Students must be in compliance with this policy in order to maintain their federal financial aid program eligibility.  However, this policy applies to all undergraduate students, regardless of participation in federal financial aid programs.

The evaluation points contained in the policy are designed to help identify students who would benefit from an early intervention and/or remediation. Most critical is a student’s ability to enroll in and complete courses successfully and consistently. Failure to complete courses successfully for any reason may negatively affect satisfactory academic progress. Failing courses or withdrawing from courses could also result in the loss of financial aid and academic dismissal. It is very important that students attend all registered courses and complete them successfully.
