Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is a set of standards for financial aid progress. 

All financial aid recipients are required to meet satisfactory academic guidelines established by Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) and financial aid standards of progress, pursuant to Federal regulations. 

The intent of this policy is to insure that students who are receiving federal and state financial aid are making measurable progress toward completion of a degree, certificate, or diploma program in a reasonable period of time and a reasonable number of credit hours attempted in their program of study. THE POLICY LOOKS AT ALL CREDIT HOURS ATTEMPTED, NOT JUST THOSE TAKEN WHILE RECEIVING FINANCIAL AID. ALL CLASSES COUNT.
