What is Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), Academic Warning, or Academic Suspension?

Normandale, along with Minnesota State Colleges and Universities and federal/state law, requires students to make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) toward completing a degree or certificate. Meeting SAP is also required to remain eligible for financial aid.

SAP Standards:

  • Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher

  • Successfully complete at least 66.66% of attempted credits

What Happens if You Fall Below These Standards?

  • Academic Warning: If your GPA or completion rate falls below the minimum, you’ll be placed on Academic Warning for the following term.

  • Academic Suspension: If you are on warning and still do not meet the standards, you may be placed on Academic Suspension, and possibly Financial Aid Suspension as well.

  • You will be notified of your status through your Normandale student email.

Support is Available:
Students are encouraged to use the many support services at Normandale, such as advising, counseling, tutoring, mentoring, and special programs. These resources can help you get back on track.

For more information, please visit the SAP page.
