To be eligible to continue receiving federal and institutional financial aid, the student must maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP). The rules for maintaining basic financial aid are derived from required federal regulations and are published on the UPIKE financial aid SAP page. Students should be aware that a change in course load prior to or during the drop-add period (i.e., full-time, part-time, etc.) may affect the total aid package. Furthermore, tuition adjustments may only be made during the drop-add period.
