Satisfactory
Academic Progress Standards chart (pdf file)
Federal Regulations require that the financial aid office monitors
the academic progress of student who have received any type of
federal financial aid, including Federal Work Study, Federal Stafford
Loan, Federal SEOG, Federal Pell Grant and Federal Perkins Loans.
Academic progress is defined as earning a minimum number of academic
credits of those attempted and maintaining a minimum grade point
average (GPA). University College of Syracuse University uses
the same standards of academic progress to determine continued
eligibility for all university funded scholarships and grants.
If you are a NYS HEOP student, these standards apply also to your
State and University HEOP Aid.
