Federal regulations require all financial aid recipients to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). NHTI has established
guidelines to comprehensively and cohesively measure whether a student is satisfactorily progressing towards completion of his
or her program of study. SAP includes both quantitative and qualitative measures. Standards of SAP determine continued
eligibility for aid. SAP measurements include all previous academic history, even if the student did not receive financial aid.
Statuses are updated at the end of each semester, including the Summer semester. It is the student’s responsibility to monitor
academic progress. Although the Financial Aid Office attempts to send students correspondence informing them of their status,
students who do not meet the standards will be ineligible for financial aid even if they do not receive correspondence. Details of
the SAP policy, measurements, and appeal procedures can be found online at https://www.nhti.edu/admissions/financial-
aid/standards-satisfactory-progress.
All coursework attempted will be evaluated when determining SAP. Student must declare a certificate or degree and only enroll
in classes that are on the approved academic advisement plan. The student is responsible for informing the Financial Aid Office
of any updates or changes to academic plan or financial aid may be canceled.

on the Academic Plan. Must be signed by student and advisor.
STEP SIX:
I understand that I am not making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) and am therefore ineligible for all financial aid. I
understand that if I am granted an appeal for reinstatement of financial aid, the appeal is granted on a semester-by-semester
basis. I understand I will lose my current and future financial aid eligibility if I enroll in courses other than those required by my
current program. I have read, understand, and agree to all the conditions stated above.
