Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

Students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) to continue receiving federal financial aid.

Financial assistance is disbursed to students who meet the following requirements:

Maintain a CGPA of 2.0 or above during enrollment.
- Students on grade warning status may continue to receive federal and institutional aid. However, students whose status is probation or suspension are not eligible for aid.

Complete all graduation requirements within 150% of the minimum hours required to complete your degree.
- Most BYU–Hawaii students require 120 credit hours for a B.A. or B.S. degree. The maximum attempted credit hour limit for these students is 180 hours (which is 50% more than the 120 hours required).
- Your maximum hour limit includes all “attempted” credit hours (credit hours for classes you repeated, and those for which you received a failing grade, a withdrawal, or incomplete).
- Undergraduates who accumulate 60 hours of non-progress grades automatically lose eligibility for federal and institutional aid.
- Transfer students should speak with a financial aid counselor to review their transfer work and to determine their maximum attempted credit hour limit.

Successfully complete at least 67 percent of all attempted credits in which they are enrolled.
- Successful completion includes all classes for which the student receives a grade of A+ through D-.
- Non-progress grades are those which indicate: failing, withdrawal, incomplete, or that a course was repeated.
