Standards of Academic Progress

Central Piedmont Grading System Policy requires that you make satisfactory academic progress in order to graduate or receive certain types of financial aid awards. Certain Standards of Academic Progress (SAP) apply for students seeking a degree, diploma, or certificate, and are evaluated each fall, spring, and summer semester.

Good Standing

A student must have a cumulative 2.0 program GPA to receive a degree, diploma, or certificate. For students enrolled in certain programs, grades of C or better in certain courses may be required to receive degrees, diplomas, or certificates.

Financial Aid SAP Good Standing requires that you maintain a 2.0 or higher GPA and a 67% or higher completion rate. If you are a financial aid recipient, learn about financial aid standards of academic progress (SAP).

Academic Intervention

Academic Advising can help you find resources to help you both academically and personally. If you are struggling to maintain good standing in the form of 2.0 or higher GPA and 67% or higher completion rate, talk with your instructors, and your academic advisor about resources and strategies for academic success this term.
