Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid
Satisfactory Academic Progress
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. The university measures your academic performance based on three standards: Grade Point Average (GPA), Pace and Max Time.
If you are a continuing education student in the teacher licensure program and do not meet SAP requirements, follow the appeals process described for undergraduate students to request reconsideration.
Appeal Deadlines:
- Summer: Tuesday, July 5
- Fall: Monday, September 5
- Spring: Monday, January 30
