What students need to navigate academic standing and SAP policies

Abstract

As enrollment in higher education continues to decrease in U.S. institutions, enrollment managers need to explore every opportunity to retain the students they have. One process embedded within the academic and financial units of every institution of higher education are academic standing and satisfactory academic progress (SAP) policies that dictate how students need to maintain certain grade point averages (GPA) and paces of completion to maintain both academic standing and financial aid eligibility.
