Satisfactory Academic Progress
After each semester, The Office of Financial Aid must check to see if students have met minimum academic and progress requirements for the previous semester. This is called the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy (SAP).
At the discretion of the Financial Aid Office, students who have met the minimum academic requirements of the SAP Policy while on Financial Aid Probation for the Fall 2014 semester, may be considered for automatic continuance of their "probation" status for the Spring 2015 semester. An automatic continuance of probation means you do not need to submit an appeal for the Spring 2015 semester. If you received financial aid in Fall 2014, look out for an email regarding your SAP status this month. See more information about the CCCCD SAP Policy.
Spring 2015 Appeal Dates
The Office of Financial Aid will begin accepting appeals on January 20. The Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) quiz will also become available on that date. The deadline for all appeals and the SAP quiz is April 6, 2015.
