Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Standard
The Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard of the Washtenaw Community College Financial Aid Office
requires that all students receiving aid maintain a cumulative and semester grade point average of
2.0 or greater and complete at least 75 percent of their semester credits.
- Good Standing: Students who meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard will be in good standing and eligible
to receive future financial aid (unless they become ineligible after attempting 90 or more credits).

- Probation: New students and students in good standing who earn at least one (1) credit during the semester but
fail to meet the academic progress standard will be placed on probation and allowed one additional
semester to meet the minimum requirements.
- Termination: Students who are on probation and do not meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard will be
terminated from financial aid.
Any student who earns zero (0) credits during the semester will placed in NO CREDIT status and will also be terminated from financial aid.
Students who are terminated from financial aid may still continue to attend classes using their own
funds for payment. Students who meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard in a future
semester may have their financial aid restored.
- 90 or More Attempted Credits: Students who have attempted 90 or more credit hours are not eligible to receive financial aid
regardless of whether or not they received aid for their attempted 90 credits. Transfer credits
from any other college(s) may be applied to their student record and will be subject to the
above 90 credit hour regulations.
Dropping, Adding, & Withdrawing
Students should be aware that schedule changes made during the 100% refund period
may result in the student owing back federal funds. Also, any changes made after
the 100% refund period may result in financial aid termination. Once you are terminated from financial
aid you are no longer eligible to receive any type of aid, (excluding scholarships). You may continue
to attend WCC using your own funds for payment.
Appeals
Students who have been terminated from financial aid and feel
they have mitigating circumstances may file an appeal with the Financial Aid Appeals Committee.
The Appeals Committee will decide if a student should be granted an additional semester of financial aid.
If students are granted an additional semester of financial aid, they must complete 75 percent or more
of their credits with a semester and cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher or they again
will be terminated from financial aid.
Visit the Financial Aid Forms webpage for appeal forms (90 Credit Appeal Worksheet and Termination Appeal Worksheet).
