SAP standards for undergraduate students
Qualitative standard: Your cumulative GPA must be a minimum of 2.0
(unless your college requires a higher GPA):
- after your first term of attendance if you are enrolled in a certificate
program or taking prerequisite courses.
- at the end of your second academic year (fourth term of enrollment or 60
credits, whichever comes first) when OSF begins to review your record each
term until you graduate.
Prior to the end of your second academic year, your progress is monitored each
term and annually by your college of enrollment to ensure that you meet their
GPA requirements.
Quantitative standard: You are eligible to receive financial aid for
a maximum timeframe of 150 percent of the published degree credits required
to complete your program. For example, if your undergraduate degree program
requires 120 degree credits, you are eligible for aid up to 180 attempted credits.
Each semester your cumulative credit completion ratio is calculated to ensure
that you have earned at least 75 percent of the credits you attempted to maintain
your aid eligibility. The total number of credits you have attempted to date
(including any course in which you were enrolled past the drop/add period) will
be compared to the total number of credits you actually earned.
