Financial Aid Probation
SSRC
Quantitative Component (e.g., Units)
Quantitative standards are assessed by
determining a students ratio of overall CSUB
cumulative units earned to their CSUB cumulative
units attempted. As a student progresses toward
graduation, this expected ratio or percentage
increases. The required ratios are represented in
the following chart
13
Financial Aid Probation
SSRC

• Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for students
  must include both a qualitative component (e.g.
  GPA) and a quantitative component (e.g. percent
  of units completed).
• SAP Policy for Undergraduate Student Programs
  Qualitative Component (e.g., GPA) Students must
  maintain a minimum CSUB cumulative grade point
  average (GPA) for courses completed at CSUB to
  remain eligible for financial aid.
• If you are an undergraduate student with 36 or
  fewer CSUB cumulative units attempted, the
  qualitative SAP policy is the same as the
  University's academic policy regarding academic
  probation and disqualification published by the
  CSUB Admissions Records Office (AR). The AR
  will determine if your grade point average (GPA)
  meets the academic standards required for
  graduation. If they find that your GPA does not
  meet these standards, you will be placed on
  Academic Probation. If your GPA continues not to
  meet these standards, you will be academically
  disqualified and ineligible for financial aid.
  Generally, academic progress and disqualification
  determinations are calculated after each quarter
  by the AR.
• If you are an undergraduate student with more
  then 36 CSUB cumulative units attempted, your
  CSUB cumulative GPA must be 2.00 or higher.
