Satisfactory Academic Progress Agreement THE HENRY SAMUELI SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING Satisfactory Academic Progress Agreement for Engineering students I understand that I am required to make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) in order to remain in good academic standing. Making SAP includes: Maintaining at least 12 units each quarter. Maintaining at least a 2. 0 quarterly GPA each quarter. Maintaining a cumulative GPA of 2. 0 or higher. If I fail to meet SAP requirements, I understand that I will be placed on Academic Probation (AP) for the period of at least 1 quarter. I also understand that during my 1 st year as an Engineering student, I will be required to exit the School of Engineering if my quarterly GPA falls below a 1. 5 or I am on AP for 2 consecutive quarters. I will work with an academic counselor to develop a plan of study to change my major. Appeals to remain in Engineering will only be considered after the 3 rd quarter. I acknowledge that I have been made aware of the academic resources that are available to me on campus. These resources include but are not limited to CODE tutoring, departmental tutoring and LARC. Please note that this SAP agreement is with The Henry Samueli School of Engineering ONLY. It does not partner with or supersede any SAP agreement with the Financial Aid Office. By signing below, I confirm that I have read and understand the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy.
