This week on "Off the Cuff," David and Hugh work through some possible blind spots for standards for academic progress (SAP) and discuss how institutions can review their policies and procedures to ensure they are up to date with the latest regulatory requirements. David kicks things off with a walk-through of qualitative and quantitative components that schools should be measuring and explains how institutions can calculate those requirements. David then provides more details on the evaluation and appeals process.
