Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requires that students are able to complete their academic program in a timely manner while achieving and maintaining compliance with minimum academic standards. Federal regulations mandate that all students are required to conform to SAP standards as they work toward a degree in order for them to qualify to receive financial assistance through all Touro University (Touro) eligible Title IV federal financial aid programs. Conformance to Touro’s SAP policy ensures that students complete their academic program in a timely manner while achieving and maintaining compliance with minimum academic standards.

This SAP policy applies to all Touro students including undergraduate, graduate and professional students. These standards are for Title IV Federal Financial Aid purposes only and neither replace nor override academic policies outlined by Touro, other state or Federal benefit programs (e.g., NYS Tuition Assistance Program) or individual program requirements. However, these standards are intended to be at least as rigorous as Touro’s academic policies.
