How to Keep and Manage Your Financial Aid
Maintaining Financial Aid Eligibility
To continue receiving financial aid at GRCC, students must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements, as outlined by federal regulations.
Note: SAP rules for Job Training students are different than those for students in credit-hour programs. Learn more about Job Training SAP.

Why It Matters
