Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Requirements for Federal Financial Aid Recipients

All students at Alabama State University (ASU) who receive federal financial aid must make satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of their degrees at a pace of progression to ensure completion within the maximum time frame. The University’s SAP policy is in accordance with regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Education. Satisfactory Academic Progress status will be determined at least once each year, generally at the end of the spring semester. Students who meet or exceed SAP requirements will not be notified.

Students who do not meet or exceed SAP requirements will be notified once the SAP review is completed.
