be reviewed and approved by the Education department within the Irvine Support Team. A student who fails a module must repeat that module and pass with a minimum grade point average of 2.0. When repeating a module, the highest achieved grade for that module becomes the official grade and is averaged in the cumulative GPA. Satisfactory Academic Policy I. Satisfactory Academic Progress: To be considered making satisfactory academic progress (SAP) toward graduation, a student must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average and a minimum rate of completion, which is progress at a specified rate in order to complete the program within Maximum Time Frame (MTF) equal to 150 percent of the published program length. Satisfactory Academic Progress is measured according to a SAP evaluation schedule as specified in the SAP Standards charts included in this policy. The SAP evaluation process and procedures for remediation are outlined in the following section of the policy. II. Evaluation of Students' Satisfactory Academic Progress: For financial aid eligibility purposes, SAP is measured at the end of every financial aid payment period, which usually equates to 4 to 5 consecutive modules, depending on program length. At each evaluation point, the student's cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and rate of completion are measured. The rate of completion is also cumulative and measures the number of academic credits the student has completed out of the academic credits attempted. The student is also limited to attempting no more than 150% of the program length in academic credits. Also, if at any point it becomes mathematically impossible for the student to complete the program within 150%, the student will become ineligible for additional Title IV and may be withdrawn. For academic purposes, student progress is monitored at the end of each module. Students who have failed a module will be advised. Advisements must clearly outline consequences of failing to meet minimum cumulative academic requirements, including repeating a module, delaying externship, and/or delaying graduation, and include an action plan. Failure to meet the SAP measurement for either CGPA and/or rate of completion will result in the student receiving academic advisement and being placed on a SAP status of FA warning, FA probation, or termination. The completion charts below contain the SAP standards for CGPA and cumulative rate of completion for each SAP evaluation point. SAP Standards 8-Modules Program SAP Evaluation Schedule Minimum Rate Minimum of Completion CGPA First Evaluation 60% 1.4 (50%, typically 5 modules) Second Evaluation 62.5% 1.75 (100%, typically 8 modules) Maximum Timeframe 67% 2.0 (150%, typically 12 modules) SAP Standards 9-Modules Program SAP Evaluation Schedule Minimum Rate Minimum of Completion CGPA First Evaluation 60% 1.4 (50 /°, typically 5 modules) Second Evaluation 66.7% 1.85 (100 /°, typically 9 modules) Maximum Timeframe 67% 2.0 (150%, typically 13 modules) All students must have a minimum 2.0 CGPA and a 67% completion rate at the end of the program in in order to graduate. SAP Sanctions FA Warning: If a student fails to meet SAP for the first time, the student is formally advised and put on FA Warning through the next SAP evaluation. A student is eligible for an additional disbursement of financial aid while on FA warning status. The student will be notified in writing of this change in SAP status. SAP Termination: If a student fails to meet SAP by the end of the FA warning or probation period and/or fails to meet the outcomes of the Academic Plan, or reaches a point where it becomes mathematically impossible for the student to complete his or her program within the MTF, the student is no longer eligible for financial aid and may be terminated. The student will be
