• The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, commonly referred to as FERPA or the Buckley amendment, is a federal law designed to protect the privacy of a student’s educational record. FERPA applies to all educational agencies or institutions that receive federal funding for any program administered by the Secretary of Education. FERPA also applies to private entities that contract to perform services for the University that it would otherwise undertake to perform on its own; in such cases, the private entity must observe the same FERPA protections applicable to the University.
• At Rutgers University, records, including progress, deficiencies, and grades may be released to parents only if they have been given access by the student, regardless of the age or tax status of the student. Students who wish to waive parts of this policy and allow their parent(s) or legal guardian(s) to have more access to their information may do so via myGuest.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is a requirement for all students receiving federal, state, or university financial assistance while enrolled at Rutgers. 

SAP requires maintaining a minimum GPA, completing a certain percentage of attempted credits, and completing a degree within a specified time frame.   

• Keep in mind: Your financial aid eligibility is based not only on your grades, but also on the number of credits you attempt and successfully complete each semester. 

• Important: Failing or withdrawing from courses MAY affect your ability to receive financial aid in the future.   

Work with an academic advisor to develop a balanced schedule each semester. Be sure to use Academic Support resources for strategies to successfully complete course requirements.  

If you do not meet the minimum SAP standards, you have the opportunity to appeal for continued eligibility for financial aid.

Students who do not meet the minimum standards for Satisfactory Academic Progress will be notified by the Office of Financial Aid. Specific information about how they are not meeting SAP requirements and the steps to appeal for continued financial aid eligibility can be found on their SAP portal at go.rutgers.edu/saplogin.
