How it's used:

SAP Status Source

  • Manual
  • SIS Provided
  • Calculated

If Manual or SIS Provided, then all of the form is unavailable except for Policy Name, Effective Dates, Program Type, Frequency, Maximum Time Frame and the Population Selection section.
If Calculated, we need all the data elements on this screen to be provided.
If the user chooses Manual, no SAP data is provided on the SBL and the user will have to manually enter all data, including the sap status, on the manual record using the SAP wizard.
If the user chooses SIS Provided, the SAP data will all come from the SBL.

Policy Name

 Text

 Name assigned by the school to the SAP policy.

Frequency

  • AY (2 step)
  • PP (2 step)
  • PP (3 step)

In the Two Step process the SAP moved to Probation and then to Suspension = checking once per academic year or more often.  Schools can check each payment period and still elect the two-step process. 
In the Three Step process the SAP status moves to Warning, then Probation then to Suspension = checking once per payment period.
Three Steps:    Not Calculated or Satisfactory – > Warning-- > Suspension
Two Steps:       Not Calculated or Satisfactory – > Suspension
The Probation status is only added if an appeal of Suspension is approved and it would then appear in the hierarchy as follows:
Three Steps:    Not Calculated or Satisfactory – > Warning (unless Warning Exclusion flag is true) -> Probation- > Suspension (Probation requires approved appeal).
Two Steps:       Not Calculated or Satisfactory – > Probation-- > Suspension (Probation requires approved appeal).

Perpetuate PP-level SAP Status

  • No, Yes
  • This flag signals to R8 that once we have a SAP value supplied by the school (SIS provided or Manually provided), R8 will use this value for each consecutive payment period until the next SAP value is sent by the school.
  • Displays only when "SAP Status Source" = "SIS" or "Manual" (does not display this field when SAP Status Source is "Calculated").
  • Displays only when "SAP Frequency" = "PP2Step" or "PP3Step."
  • Default to "No" when creating a new SAP policy.

Effective Start Date

 Date

The "Date to be used when Applying the SAP Policy" in Institution Setup, in combination with the SAP policy effective dates, determines which SAP policy will be applied to the student.

  • If SAP Policy is a PP-2 step or PP-3 step policy:
    • - When "Date to be used when Applying SAP Policy" = Review Period End Date:
      • If the student's Payment Period End Date falls within the SAP policy effective start and end dates, the SAP policy will be used to determine SAP for the student for the given PP.
      • - When "Date to be used when Applying SAP Policy" = Review Period Start Date (default):
      • If the student's Payment Period Start Date falls within the SAP policy effective start and end dates, the SAP policy will be used to determine SAP for the student for the given PP.
  • If SAP Policy is an AY-2 step policy:
    • - When "Date to be used when Applying SAP Policy" = Review Period End Date:
      • If the student's Academic Year End Date falls within the SAP policy effective start and end dates, the SAP policy will be used to determine SAP for the student for the given AY.
      • - When "Date to be used when Applying SAP Policy" = Review Period Start Date (default):
      • If the student's Academic Year Start Date falls within the SAP policy effective start and end dates, the SAP policy will be used to determine SAP for the student for the given AY.

        The dates for this policy cannot overlap with another SAP policy's effective dates. A program cannot be assigned to SAP policy's with overlapping effective dates.

Effective End Date

 Date

See Effective Start Date (listed above).

All Program Types

 Checkbox

If this box is checked, then the Program Type drop down should not be available.

Program Type

  • Undergraduate
  • Graduate
  • Post-Graduate
  • Prep-Grad
  • Prep-Undergrad
  • Ed Licensure
  • Post-Bach Licensure
  • CTP Programs

Select the program type for which this SAP policy is applicable. This field is unavailable if "All Program Types" is checked.

Maximum Time Frame

Percentage

The student can attempt up to 150% of the amount of units required to complete the academic program.

CBE Qualitative SAP

  • Yes, No

CBE schools use a basic "pass" / "fail" for the qualitative portion of the SAP calculation. Each school is very particular about the wording used for these two possible "pass" / "fail" values. Therefore, the SBL will allow the school to enter any value in a new field called "qualitativeAssessmentForCBE" (on the SAP node of the SBL) in order to indicate that the student has "passed" qualitative SAP. If the "qualitativeAssessmentForCBE" field on the SBL is NULL that will indicate that the student has failed the qualitative portion of the SAP calculation.

  • If the SAP Policy type = "Calculated" and if "Yes" is selected, the "SIS Provided GPA" field and the GPA section are not applicable and will not be displayed.

SIS Provided GPA

  • Yes, No

Defaults to Yes. If Yes is selected, then the system expects the GPA data to be sent via the SBL, and the system will not calculate it.

SIS Provided Pace

  • Yes, No

If Yes is selected, then the system expects the Pace data to be sent via the SBL, and the system will not calculate it.

SIS Provided Max Timeframe %

  • Yes, No

If Yes is selected, then the system expects the MTF % data to be sent via the SBL, and the system will not calculate it.

GPA Section

 

 

Benchmark Type

  • - # PP Completed
  • - % of Program Completed
  • - % of Program Attempted
  • - # of Attempted Units
  • - # of Completed Units
  • - % of Maximum Timeframe
  • - Grade Level

Note: For Official SAP: Attempted units = Attended units (attempted is a SAP term).
Number of PP Completed – this would not reference specific payment periods, just a number of payment periods. Unit options still apply.

    1. of PP Completed* - R8 is incrementing the count of BenchmarkPaymentPeriodCount during processing of each payment period for the SAP calculation.  No dates or other fields are being looked at to determine if the payment period is "completed"; it's just an increment. For term-based: 1 term = 1 PP.
      % of Program Completed - Range of percentages, completed units over the number of units in the program.
      % of Program Attempted - Range of percentages, attempted units over the number of units in the program.
      Number of Attempted Units - Range of attempted units.
      Number of Completed Units - The student can complete units in the amount of up to 150% of the amount of credits it takes to complete the program.
      % of Maximum Timeframe - The student can attempt units in the amount of up to 150% of the amount of credits it takes to complete the program.
      Grade Level - 0 thru 7.

From

Numeric values 0.000 to 6.000

Range of values of the benchmark chosen. These range values cannot overlap with another defined range.

To

Numeric values 0.000 to 6.000

Range of values of the benchmark chosen. These range values cannot overlap with another defined range

Review Pd. GPA

Numeric values 0.000 to 6.000

 If the value is below this threshold, then the measure is not met.

Cumulative GPA

Numeric values 0.000 to 6.000

If the value is below this threshold, then the measure is not met. If the user completes both the Lifetime GPA and the Review Period GPA, both numbers will be used separately, in the SAP calc. ED has indicated Cumulative GPA must always be used.  The Review Period GPA is at the school's discretion.

Completion Ratio (Pace) Section

 

 

Benchmark Type

  • # PP Completed
  • % of Program Completed
  • % of Program Attempted
  • # of Attempted Units
  • # of Completed Units
  • % of Maximum Timeframe
  • Grade Level

Note: For Official SAP: Attempted units = Attended units.  (Attempted is a SAP term)
Number PP Completed – this would not reference specific payment periods, just a number of payment periods; unit options do still apply;
% of Program Completed - Range of percentages, completed units over the number of units in the program
% of Program Attempted - Range of percentages, attempted units over the number of units in the program
Number of Attempted Units - Range of attempted units
Number of Completed Units - The student can complete units in the amount of up to 150% of the amount of credits it takes to complete the program.
% of Maximum Timeframe - The student can attempt units in the amount of up to 150% of the amount of credits it takes to complete the program.
Grade Level - 0 thru 7

Use Review Period

 

Flag to indicate Completion Ratio (Pace) should be based on the Review Period rather than the entire program.
Only displayed when Benchmark Type = # of Completed Units OR # of Attempted Units.
Check box defaults to NOT checked when creating a new SAP Policy.
When NOT checked, the Review Period % column is hidden. If prior values existed in the Review Period % column they are set to NULL when the policy change is saved.
When flag is checked, the Cumulative % column is hidden. If prior values existed in the Cumulative % column they are set to NULL when the policy change is saved.
 

From

 Numeric - Percentage
0.000 to 100.000

Range of values of the benchmark chosen. These range values cannot overlap with another defined range.

To

 Numeric - Percentage
0.000 to 100.000

Range of values of the benchmark chosen. These range values cannot overlap with another defined range.

Review Pd. %

Numeric - Percentage
0.000 to 100.000

If the value is below this threshold, then the measure is not met. For grad/prof programs, this may be given in a number of years rather than percent of program units attempted.
1 - Formula: Possible to meet MTF:  Attempted Credits (including transfer credits) / Remaining Credits in Program must be less than or equal to the MTF percentage.  If not, student fails SAP and is ineligible for TItle IV.  Failing to meet this requirement results in immediate suspension and a message on the student's SAP wizard screen for the review period indicating "Mathematically unable to meet Maximum Time Frame" regardless of what the Regular MTF formula (below) indicates.
2 - MTF Regular Formula: Credits attempted/Credits in program = MTF percentage.
 

Cumulative %

Numeric - Percentage
0.000 to 100.000

If the value is below this threshold, then the measure is not met.
