Policies and procedures governing academic, faculty and student affairs are available at the website provided above and are updated routinely. Students are strongly encouraged to review the information provided in CenterScope, and in the present bulletin, upon acceptance into one of the UTHSC programs.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
The UTHSC Financial Aid Office is required to monitor a student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). The Financial Aid Office determines a student’s SAP standing at the conclusion of every term. Students are encouraged to review the SAP requirements at https://uthsc.policymedical.net/policymed/anonymous/docViewer?stoken=de47aa28-16aa-408b-9c96-cb04f232964f&dtoken=4449a10b-ab10-409f-924d-2633c31253a1. Failure to meet SAP standards will result in a student becoming ineligibility for federal financial aid. Any questions regarding SAP should be directed to the student’s assigned Financial Aid Counselor listed at http://www.uthsc.edu/finaid/important-information/staff.php.
