State-Mandated Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (TXG-SAP)

The Texas state legislature has included specific standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress for students receiving TEXAS Grants. As with the general SAP policy, the TXG-SAP has both a quantitative and qualitative standard that must be achieved each year to renew the award. The qualitative standard of 2.50 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) must be met by the end of the second year after the first grant was received. Texas law requires that the CGPA calculation must include all coursework taken for college credit from all institutions from prior semesters regardless of whether financial aid was received during that time. The quantitative standards limit the student to 150 credit hours or 6 years whichever comes first. In addition, the student must successfully complete at least 75% of the hours attempted during the last academic year.
