Satisfactory Academic Progress
联邦法规要求威尼斯人博彩区实施令人满意的学术进步(SAP)政策，以确保接受联邦学生援助的学生在完成学位课程方面取得足够的进步. 无论您是否获得经济援助，我们都会在所有入学期间对您的学业进展进行监控. The satisfactory academic progress policy applies to all federal, 状态, 以及机构援助, including federal loan programs. Private loans that require school certification also may be subject to SAP policies.
Blinn's financial aid SAP policies are similar, 但不完全相同, to the College's Academic Standing policies. Students should review both sets of policies and ask for clarification as needed. Questions about financial aid SAP policies should be directed to the 金融援助 Office; questions about the College's Academic Standing policies should be directed to the 招生 Office.

首次入学的新生(之前没有在威尼斯人博彩或其他学校尝试过大学学时)只要具备以下条件，就符合令人满意的学术进步(SAP)要求:
- Been accepted as a regular student in an eligible program. 普通学生被定义为在符合条件的机构注册的人，目的是获得该机构提供的学位或证书.
- A high school diploma or a recognized equivalent of a high school diploma, typically a general education development (GED) certificate. Students who have been homeschooled are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. 布林大学保留拒绝向没有获得认可机构的高中文凭或普通教育文凭的学生提供经济援助的权利.
- 以前是双学分学生并在威尼斯人博彩有学术历史的学生将根据他们在威尼斯人博彩的表现计算他们的SAP状态.
不符合定性和/或定量标准的学生将被暂停经济援助，不允许获得经济援助. 被暂停经济援助的学生可以通过提交SAP上诉对其经济援助暂停提出上诉. 如果学生有资格提交上诉，经济援助办公室会自动将上诉请求放在学生要求的文件上.
Students who have had their financial aid suspended may submit a SAP Appeal. The appeal must consist of a 个人陈述 explaining why they did not meet SAP standards, what steps they are taking to ensure their performance will meet SAP, along with 支持文档. The appeal may not be based upon the students need for financial assistance, and the reason for an appeal cannot be used more than once in a student’s academic career.
An appeal must be based upon an unusual situation, condition or other mitigating circumstances, which prevented the student from meeting the SAP standards. Examples of possible situations include, 但不限于, 严重的疾病, 严重伤害, or death of a family member, drastic family situations, 等. The student must submit third-party 支持文档 with their appeal. Appeals are reviewed and evaluated on a case-by-case basis using the student’s academic history, 个人陈述, 支持文档, and any previous appeals they may have submitted.
When a student’s appeal is reviewed and a decision is made, they will be notified of the appeal decision by email to their Blinn email 账户; the decision can also be seen in the student’s 金融援助 Checklist in their myBLINN 账户. If the student’s appeal has been denied, 但他们在提出上诉时未能提交所有第三方文件, a Review of Denied Appeal may be requested by contacting the financial aid office. When the review of a denied appeal is evaluated, any new documentation along with all previously submitted documentation will be reviewed. Students will be notified by email once their appeal is reviewed.
任何一个学期的上诉被批准的学生将被列入财政援助学术计划. Students will have to sign a separate academic plan after their appeal is approved. 学术计划的唯一目的是确保学生在指定的时间内达到SAP的整体标准.
任何在经济援助试用期的学生，如果在该学期结束时达到总体SAP，将不再处于经济援助学术计划之下. Students on appeal who are not meeting overall SAP at the end of the semester, 但是已经满足了他们的财政援助学术计划的条件，只要他们在随后的每个学期结束时继续满足他们的计划的条件，他们就可以继续获得第四章的援助.
After grades post at the end of each financial aid period, students on appeal for that financial aid period will be reviewed. 未能满足本学期财政援助学术计划条件且未达到总体SAP标准的学生将暂停其财政援助. They will be notified regarding their loss of eligibility via their 威尼斯人博彩 email, and their SAP status will be updated in the 金融援助 Checklist in their myBLINN 账户.
从2020年秋季学期开始，在威尼斯人博彩就读的学生只允许提交两次经济援助上诉. Appeals prior to Fall 2020 are not counted towards the 2 appeal limit. 穷尽两次申诉的学生只有在满足SAP政策的所有定性和定量衡量标准的情况下才能重新获得经济援助.
