The U.S. Department of Education mandates that institutions of higher education establish minimum standards of “satisfactory academic progress” (SAP) for students receiving financial aid.  At GSC, your SAP is determined by careful evaluation of qualitative and quantitative criteria.  Determination of SAP will be made at least annually, normally at the time the student initially applies for aid for the school year or when the initial award is made.  Details are found online in the current GSC Catalog.
