As a condition of participating in the federal student aid programs, Cal State L.A. is required to evaluate the academic progress of applicants for financial aid. Cal State L.A的令人满意的学业进步(SAP)政策提供给所有的财政援助申请人如下.
Cal State L.A's federal student aid SAP policies for students are similar, but not identical, to the university's policies for minimum academic progress. Students should review both sets of policies and ask for clarification as needed. Questions about federal student aid SAP policies should be directed to the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office; questions about the university's minimum academic progress policies should be directed to Academic Advising.
Non-financial aid recipients awarded only scholarships, graduate assistantships, veteran’s benefits, stipends (excluding Cal Grant B stipend), 或者学生助理的收入必须符合这些项目的具体资格要求.
SAP Standards
Minimum Cumulative GPA -保持特定于你的学术课程的最低累积平均绩点(GPA).

Minimum Cumulative Pace of Completion - Satisfactorily complete (earn credit in) 75% of the cumulative units attempted
