Procedure 410.01: Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Recipients
Purpose: The purpose of this procedure is to maintain compliance with Satisfactory Academic Progress Regulations (SAP) that exist in both the Washington State Administrative Code (WAC), and in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
Grays Harbor College will develop, update, maintain and follow a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Handbook each academic year. The SAP Handbook will be posted on the college financial aid web pages.
Updates to the SAP Handbook will be reviewed by the Student Services Administrative Leadership Team (SSALT), approved by the Vice President for Student Services. It will be communicated to campus leadership and impacted departments as necessary.
Procedure Review History
Review and Revision refers to the College’s cyclical process for evaluating and updating all institutional policies and procedures. At minimum, each policy or procedure will undergo review once every five years to ensure accuracy, relevance, and alignment with current practices and regulatory requirements. If the scheduled review results in no changes, the date of that review will be recorded in the Reviewed field. If updates or edits are made, the date will be recorded in the Revised field. This process maintains transparency regarding the history of each policy or procedure and ensures the College remains responsive to evolving needs and standards.
