Satisfactory Academic Progress
Federal and state regulations require students meet minimum academic requirements to remain eligible for financial aid each semester. In order to maintain financial aid eligibility at Savannah Technical College, students must meet minimum cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) and completion rate requirements as well as successfully complete, within a maximum timeframe, all coursework required for completion of the chosen program of study.
Savannah Technical College requires:
- Grade Point Average – must maintain an overall grade point average of 2.0 (grade of “C” or higher) within the current program of study and
- Completion Rate – must complete with a grade of “C” or higher at least two-thirds of all credit hours attempted within the current program of study (passed credit divided by attempted credit hours. For the purpose of calculation, 66.666…% is rounded to 67%) and
- 150% Maximum Timeframe – must complete program of study within 150% maximum timeframe. Multiply the number of credits required to graduate from your program X 1.5 = maximum attempted credits allowed.
Students are expected to know and understand the SAP policy. The Financial Aid Office will notify students of their status via their Savannah Tech student email address. Students are not excused from financial aid warning or suspension status nor are they exempt from appealing in a timely manner if they do not receive notification because they did not check their student email. Students may log into their BANNER Web account at any time to check the financial aid SAP status.
