Satisfactory Academic Progress
Policy

Background:

The Financial Aid Office at Gavilan College is required to measure your academic progress toward a Certificate, Associate degree, or Transfer program.  If you are not pursuing one of these educational goals, you are not eligible for federal student aid and certain state aid at Gavilan College. 

The Financial Aid Office will review your academic history at Gavilan College after we receive your processed FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and for each term/session thereafter in the academic year.  Your academic status will be determined according to the guidelines set forth in this policy.  These standards apply to all periods of enrollment whether or not you have received financial aid.  These requirements differ from and are separate than those policies set forth by Admissions & Records. 

Should you be placed on disqualification, you will be ineligible for Pell Grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Academic Competitiveness Grants, Federal Work Study, Federal loans programs as well as the following state financial aid programs:  Cal Grants.  These SAP standards do not apply to the Board of Governors Fee Waiver (BOG).
