The receipt of financial aid is a privilege that creates both rights and obligations. The United States Department of Education requires every institution of higher education receiving federal student aid (Title IV) to have a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy that is used to determine eligibility for and continued receipt of federal student aid and some state aid. Student aid affected by this policy includes, but is not limited to: Pell Grant, FSEOG, Federal Work-Study, PLUS Loans, Direct Student Loans, Teach Grant, HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship, Dual Enrollment funding, REACH Scholarship, Student Access Loan (SAL), and other state aid.
