SAP Statuses
Meets SAP
The Meets SAP status is assigned to students in two circumstances: 1) it is the student’s first semester at Wayne State, and 2) when after their most recent semester, they meet all three standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress.
Warning
Students are placed on Warning status when after their most recent semester of attendance they are deficient in either their cumulative GPA, their cumulative Pace, or both and their previous semester status was Meets SAP. Students on Warning status are eligible to receive financial aid.
Suspension
Suspension status is assigned to students in three categories:
- The student was on Warning status and at the end of their Warning semester; they do not meet the standards for cumulative GPA, cumulative Pace, or both.
- The student has reached the maximum attempted credits limit.
- The student has not yet reached the maximum attempted credits limit, but it is not possible for the student to complete their program prior to reaching the maximum attempted credits limit.
There are two ways students with Suspension status can earn reinstatement:
- secure approval of an appeal or
- pay with their own resources for one or more semesters until they meet the satisfactory academic progress requirements, then notify the Student Financial Services Office.
