The College’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards measure each student’s quantitative (credit completion) and qualitative (cumulative grade point average) progress toward the completion of the student’s program of study. The SAP standards are used primarily to determine a student’s eligibility to receive federal financial aid under Title IV of the Higher Education Act; however, the SAP standards are applied to all students and represent a minimum standard of academic achievement required by the College for continued enrollment.
SAP Evaluation Periods
The College’s SAP standards measure a student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress at the end of each quarter. Denver College of Nursing will provide an academic grade report to each student at the end of each quarter, which will include the student’s grades earned in each course attempted. The grade report will also provide cumulative information for all credits attempted and completed and a cumulative grade point average at the end of each grading period.
