Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

To be eligible for student financial aid, students must meet the standard of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). The Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) has established the guidelines, based on Federal regulations, for evaluating student progress, taking into consideration cumulative UHC GPA, the cumulative number of hours attempted and completed at UHC, and the hours that have been successfully transferred to UHC from any other post- secondary institution. The OSFA's SAP policy and standards are not the same as the academic standards of the University, including specific departments or programs (i.e., the Nursing department). Enrollment in the University is not synonymous with financial aid satisfactory academic progress. For more information on SAP, see the Academic Policies section of this Catalog.
