New York State Satisfactory Academic Progress Charts

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Beginning with the 2015-16 academic year, for ADA students who received their first state award during the 2010-11 academic year and thereafter and who are enrolled less than full-time, good academic standing will be determined using new SAP standards which does not modify the requirements for disabled students, but aligns them to be equivalent with those required of full-time students.

NOTE: This sample standard of satisfactory progress is referred to throughout the preceding guidelines. Generally, it would be used to determine continuing eligibility for State support of students who have no “special circumstances.” The progress of students with special circumstances, such as those who have transferred from another institution or have used their waiver, must be monitored on an adjusted schedule.
