Rights & Responsibilities - Satisfactory Academic Progress

Applicants must maintain satisfactory progress standards as defined in the University catalog. It is the student's responsibility to read and understand these standards.

The United States Department of Education has mandated that colleges and universities have in place satisfactory progress standards (SAP) that must be met in order for a student to receive Title IV funds (Federal Pell Grants, Federal Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans, Federal PLUS Loans, Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants, Federal Work-Study, and Federal Perkins Loans). In addition, the Financial Aid Office uses satisfactory academic progress standards to determine eligibility for FSU grants and Maryland State Scholarship awards. Please make a selection below to review the SAP standards that apply to you.

• Undergraduate Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

• Graduate Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
