Click here to calculate your completion rate estimate.
- Grades of A, B, C, or D = completing an attempted course.
- Grades of F, W, I, AU, or FA = not completing an attempted course.
At least 2 out of every 3 credit hours you attempt must receive a grade of A, B, C, or D in order to meet the minimum 67% completion rate requirement. Transfer and dual enrollment credits also count toward the completion rate evaluation.

Students must complete a degree within 150% of their course's allotted credit hours. Students who exceed this percentage - or who cannot mathematically complete their degree without exceeding it - will be suspended. This means completing a 60 credit hour course within a maximum of 90 credit hours, and applies to all credentials, not just associate’s degrees.
Transfer, Returning, & Dual Enrollment Students
This applies to transfer, returning, and dual enrollment students. All prior college transcripts will be evaluated by the Admissions Office to determine a student's transfer credits and transfer GPA.
Students will be automatically suspended from receiving financial aid if they have already earned...
- 90 or more credit hours
- an associate’s degree or higher
The Financial Aid Office updates SAP statuses for all continuously enrolled students at the end of each semester. SAP statuses are not updated at the end of each part-of-term or session within a semester.
Students who violate one or more of the SAP standards will receive a Warning status for one semester. Students can continue to receive aid while they are in SAP Warning. Students will be suspended if they do not achieve an eligible GPA or completion rate at the end of their second semester.
Students who approach the Maximum Timeframe SAP standard will receive a SAP status of Approaching to indicate that they are in danger of being suspended in a future semester. When the student reaches 90 attempted hours or when it becomes mathematically impossible to complete a degree within 90 hours, the student will be suspended.
SAP statuses will be updated regardless of whether students have received aid. Students who are non-degree seeking or have not submitted all college transcripts will have an ineligible SAP status.
Below is a chart that shows different SAP statuses and their meanings.
