Satisfactory Academic Progress

(SAP)

Federal regulations require that a student meet basic academic progress standards to receive federal financial aid. This is known as Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). These standards are different from Pima Community College's academic requirements. The financial aid SAP policy may exclude certain coursework from the pace of completion formula such as ESL or remedial. Additionally, certain repeated courses can be counted as completed only once, even if you received passing grades more than once.
