Bryan University students (full-time, part-time, undergraduate, and graduate students) must achieve Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) to successfully complete their programs of study and to remain eligible for Title IV/VA educational benefits. The University evaluates SAP at the end of every payment period/semester. SAP is determined by measuring the student’s cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and the student’s pace towards completion of their academic program. Approved transfer credit is considered when evaluating SAP.
The Elements of SAP are as follows:
Qualitative Standard: The student’s cumulative grade point average (CGPA) must meet minimum requirements. See below.
Quantitative Standard: The Rate of Progress (ROP) is the pace at which a student must progress through their educational program to ensure that students will complete their program within the maximum time frame. The student must earn the program-required credits within 150% of the stated program length. See below.

Retake Policies
Failure to pass any formative assessment throughout the Program will require students to retake the assessment until a passing score has been achieved. State regulatory boards require CNA students to pass the final exam within two (2) attempts.
Should a student fail to meet satisfactory academic progress by completion of their final clock hour, the student will not be eligible for graduation and be dismissed. Students may re-apply for the Program and will be required to complete all admissions documents and will be subject to the current tuition.
