Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

Students must make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) towards completion of their degree. If you do not meet the SAP requirements, you may lose your aid eligibility.

SAP requirements apply to all undergraduate and graduate/professional students who receive federal, state, and institutional aid administered by UIC. At the conclusion of each spring semester, the OSFA reviews all students to ensure they are making SAP. Students not meeting SAP requirements are notified in writing via mail or email.

Important: SAP requirements for financial aid are separate from degree progress requirements monitored by academic departments.
