Outline
The “What, Why, How, Who, When and Where” of SAP
Sample Situations
Question/Answer
WHAT is SAP?
SAP=Satisfactory Academic Progress
A college policy; one of the conditions that undergraduate students must meet for enrollment and financial aid eligibility.
A student’s progress is satisfactory if the student has earned the minimum number of credits expected for the number of terms of enrollment.
WHAT outcomes do not advance SAP?
Incomplete (IN)No Credit (NC)Administrative Withdrawal (ZW)Withdrawal (WD) after the 28th day of
the termMissing outcomes
WHY is SAP Important?
Academic dismissal affects eligibility for enrollment.• Creates registration hold on student
account.• Causes registration cancellation for
upcoming term.Academic warning and dismissal affect
eligibility for financial aid.
HOW is SAP determined?
Calculated at the end of each term.Cumulative from the student’s first
undergraduate enrollment at ESC.Based on the student’s Full-time
Equivalent (FTE) enrollments.
HOW is SAP determined?
• 1-4 credits quarter time 0.25 FTE• 5-8 credits half time 0.50 FTE• 9-11 credits three-quarter 0.75 FTE• 12+ credits full-time 1.00 FTE
HOW is SAP applied?
Academic Progress Warning:
Student receives written warning if he/she has not accumulated the expected number of credits.
Student can still enroll if no other holds exist. Affects NYS financial aid eligibility. Can be rescinded if student returns to satisfactory
level within the next 16 credits attempted. Can lead to academic progress dismissal.
HOW is SAP applied?
Academic Progress Dismissal:
Student receives written notice of academic dismissal if:• The student was given a warning that was not rescinded.• The student attempted 16 credits since the warning and the
cumulative rate of progress remains below the minimum.• Note: No warning is given in some cases (based on
calculation). Student is not eligible to enroll. Student is not eligible for NYS or Federal financial aid. A student cannot be dismissed in their first enrollment.
WHO is affected by SAP?
The Student: Matriculated and non-matriculated.
The College: Mentor/advisor Student Services Professionals, CDL Call Center, Staff Student Information Center Office of the Registrar Student Financial Services (Student Accounts and Financial Aid) Office of Admissions Office of Academic Affairs and/or President’s Office Computer Services
WHEN does SAP run?
End-of-term SAP runs on the Monday after course outcomes (versus course evaluations) are due.• Course outcomes: CR, NC, IN, ZW.
The SAP list runs every Monday during the term (or Tuesday if the college is closed for a holiday).• Update SAP status
– Warning rescinds– Dismissal clearances
CDL Process
SAP Early Warning Report (X423):
Allows advisor/mentor to review SAP status of students who are projected to fall into academic warning or dismissal.
Student Services reviews X423 and makes recommendations to the Office of the Registrar on the Friday course outcomes are due; SAP runs the following Monday.
Students can lose financial aid and their registration can be cancelled for the upcoming term.
Students should be encouraged to resolve through Student Services.
CDL Process
Academic Reinstatement:
Academic Dismissal letter outlines steps for requesting reinstatement:• Contact CDL Student Services for instructions.• Send reinstatement request letter to the Dean.• Decision is sent by mail; conditions possible.
Student must “sit out” for one full term, and cannot re-enroll unless he/she is reinstated.
Students who have been dismissed twice are not eligible for reinstatement.
CDL Process
Financial Reinstatement after Academic Dismissal:
Enrollment and financial aid eligibility are determined separately.
Financial aid reinstatement after dismissal requires documentation of the student’s situation, and completion of waiver forms through Student Financial Services.
Students who have received aid in the past are not automatically eligible for such aid after dismissal.
The SAP Equation
This equation is especially helpful in determining whether a student will be in academic warning or dismissal.
Equation: Total number of credits needed to be in good SAP, minus total number of credits earned by student to date, equals X.
If X is 16 credits or less, the student can regain SAP.• SAP Status: Academic Warning (SAP can be restored).
If X is greater than 16 credits, the student cannot regain SAP.• SAP Status: Academic Dismissal – No Warning.
