All undergraduate and graduate students must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements to receive financial aid at James Madison University. Federal regulations require each institution to have a SAP policy, which establishes the minimum standards for financial aid eligibility. This policy includes both qualitative and quantitative components. Qualitative refers to grade point average. Quantitative refers to both earned credits and maximum time.
