Federal regulations mandate all students are required to maintain SAP toward a degree in order to receive financial assistance through Title IV Federal Financial Aid. A student must meet the academic standards as outlined in the SAP policy. These standards are for financial aid purposes only and neither replace nor overrides academic policies outlined by Tarleton State University. A current academic year FAFSA must be on file in order for SAP to be evaluated. Therefore, before an appeal is submitted, please ensure your FAFSA is complete. A student can complete a FAFSA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The SAP policy applies to all undergraduate, graduate, and professional students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These programs include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n State of Texas, Tarleton State University, and privately sponsored scholarship programs have specific retention requirements. In addition, Athletic Grants-In-Aid are subject to departmental and NCAA retention standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n There are three components of SAP consisting of quantitative and qualitative measurements.
