How Grades and Units Affect Aid

Maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

To be eligible to receive financial aid you must meet these satisfactory academic progress requirements:

• Minimum GPA: Maintain a minimum cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA).

• Minimum Pass Rate: You must complete 66.67% of all units attempted, which include transfer units, test
  credits, and SDSU Units.

• Maximum Time Frame: Complete your degree, credential, or certificate within a prescribed length of time (maximum units for which you may receive aid). It is your responsibility to be aware of and in compliance with SDSU’s satisfactory academic progress standards.

• Filing an Appeal: If you do not meet or maintain SAP, you may complete a SAP Appeal Form to reestablish aid eligibility. The SAP appeal is available under the “Tasks” tile in my.SDSU. Upload your complete SAP Appeal form and all supporting documents requested under the “Tasks” tile in my.sdsu by the appropriate deadline.
