A special note about summer enrollment:
Summer credits and grades earned are always counted toward the future academic year in the state SAP calculation. In other words, credits taken during the previous summer are counted toward the calculation, but if a student has failed SAP for state aid during the fall and winter semesters, the student will not be able to impact those deficiencies with attendance during the following summer semester.
