Background and Impact of SAP

The Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965, as amended, requires the University of Dayton to develop and enforce standards of satisfactory progress prior to awarding any federal financial aid funds to students.

The Ohio grant programs are funded by the State of Ohio and also fall under these regulations.

Standards of satisfactory progress were established to encourage students to successfully complete courses for which financial aid is received and to progress satisfactorily toward degree completion. "Successful completion of a course is defined as receiving one of the following grades: A, B, C, D, or S. The grading marks: F, NC, I, W, X, or P will not be considered as successful completion of a course" by Federal regulation.
