Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Federal and State regulations require that all financial aid recipients
maintain specific academic standards called "Satisfactory Academic Progress" or SAP. Except for some private and
institutional funds, all forms of financial aid (grants, loans, work-study and
scholarships) are affected by this policy. These standards are applied to a student's
entire academic history at Red Rocks Community College including periods when
financial aid was not received.
Effective Spring of 2010 the financial aid office will evaluate student
academic progress at the end of each semester based on three criteria:
Cumulative GPA, Cumulative Completion Rate (%) and Maximum Time
Frame.
