SAP

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Apply Now Fill Out the FAFSA Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is a method used to define successful completion of coursework and to establish and maintain eligibility for financial aid loans, grants, and scholarships. Federal regulations require all colleges and universities to publish and apply standards to monitor students’ progress toward completion of their certificate or degree program. The federal regulations set minimum requirements but schools can choose their own acceptable thresholds. This means that SAP standards can vary from one institution to the next. At The College of Idaho, at the end of each semester, the Office of the Registrar and the Office of Student Financial Aid Services monitor whether the requirements for SAP are being met for all students, regardless of whether the student has received previous financial aid or transferred from another institution. To understand these special academic requirements for financial aid, read the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy for your relevant graduate program within the Graduate Catalog. HAVE QUESTIONS?

Honor Code

Honor Code Home / Honor Code Undergraduate Catalog Academic Affairs Student Handbook The Honor Code System is a philosophy of conduct rooted in honesty, integrity, and understanding, that allows members of a diverse student body to live together, interact and learn from one another in ways that protect both personal freedom and community standards. The College of Idaho Honor Code System consists of two complementary parts: An Academic Honor Code that focuses solely on upholding academic integrity and proscribing lying, cheating, and stealing in matters pertaining to college business, and a Student Life Honor Code that deals with all other aspects of the student experience. The Academic Honor Code will be signed by all students, upheld campus wide, and adjudicated by an elected Student Judicial Committee, trained by qualified Student Affairs Staff and experienced student leaders. The Student Life Honor Code deals with all other aspects of student life. The Student Life Honor Code will be enforced primarily by the student community, supported by administrative staff. Sanctions will be adjudicated by the same Student Judicial Committee. There are two sub-sections of the Student Life Honor Code. The first is the Student Handbook which articulates behavioral expectations within the campus community. The second is residential. At present, two residence halls have become Honor Residence Halls. Under the general umbrella of the Student Handbook, they are empowered to develop their own community standards and expectations, and their own means of adjudicating violations of those standards within the Honor Hall. Academic Honor Code The Code The College of Idaho is a community of integrity; therefore, we, the students, seek to promulgate a community in which integrity is valued, expected, and practiced. We are honor bound to refrain from cheating, stealing, or lying about College-related business. We are obligated to examine our own actions in light of their effect on the community, and we are responsible to address any violations of these community standards. The Pledge All course work submitted for evaluation is pledged with the student’s signature: I pledge that this work was completed with academic integrity. Revision Any changes to the Academic Honor Code must be approved by a student referendum subject, of course, to Board approval.
