Satisfactory Academic Progress

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.
