Federal regulations require institutions to monitor each student’s progress toward earning a degree within the maximum time frame permitted for the student’s degree or course of study. Failure to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) jeopardizes a student’s eligibility to receive federal financial aid.
SAP policy can be found in Yale SOM's Bulletin at https://bulletin.yale.edu/bulletins/som/rights-and-responsibilities-students#policy-on-satisfactory-academic-progress-and-program-completion-for-title-iv-funds-federal-student-aid-
