All students who receive federal or state financial aid must maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP) towards the completion of an eligible program of study. Financial aid eligibility is determined in compliance with federal and state regulations as well as institutional policies and does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, age, disability, medical condition, sexual orientation, or other legally protected basis. If a student wishes to file a grievance, then they should follow the directions outlined in the college catalog.

The SAP policy applies to both Title IV and non-Title IV financial aid, which includes the following forms of financial aid:

Federal Pell Grant
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
Federal Work-Study
Federal Direct Loans
California State Cal Grant
All State-funded programs

The SAP policy applies equally to all students regardless of the student level of enrollment or academic program – that is, full-time enrollment, part-time enrollment, and all educational programs offered through Los Rios.

Students who fail to make SAP, will receive written notification from the Financial Aid Office explaining the which specific SAP requirement they did not meet – that is, qualitative (GPA), quantitative (Pace), and/or Maximum Time Frame.
