The catalog states: “SAP is defined as successful progression throughout the student’s academic program.”
The catalog states: “SAP is measured as follows: Students are required to maintain a 2.0 GPA (Qualitative measurement) and complete at a pace of at least 67% of all credits attempted (Quantitative measurement).”
Academic performance is based on three standards: grade point average (GPA), pace, and maximum time.
The policy identifies the requirements and consequences of failing to meet the SAP minimum standards.
Where it applies
InterCoast Colleges’ catalog states this under “SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY” (p. 30).
The catalog states: “Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy (SAP) is cumulatively measured and applies to all periods of attendance and is consistently applied to all students through formal SAP evaluations that correspond to the end of payment periods.”
The catalog states: “Every student attending InterCoast must maintain SAP to continue their enrollment and continue eligibility for financial aid.”
