Admissions Plus Students
Admissions Plus is a program whereby students who possess the potential to attend college may be enrolled
at UW – Stevens Point despite a below average ACT (no lower than 17) or high school GPA. Students are
reviewed by a committee led by the Retention Coordinator that includes members of Diversity and College
Access, Student Academic Advising Center, Admissions and the Tutoring and Learning Center. Students that
can be admitted are placed on a contract for their first year that includes requirements specific to their
academic needs, which could include regular advising visits with the Retention Coordinator or other advisor
and enrollment in specific courses within TLC. Students who meet the terms of the agreement by the end of
their first year will be fully admitted for Fall 2015. Students who do not meet the terms of the contract may reenroll as a special student but they will not be eligible for admission or financial aid.

Satisfactory Academic Progress
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) monitoring is required for any student receiving federal student aid.
There are several components of SAP monitoring, GPA (must be above a 2.0), Pace toward graduation within
150% of your required credits and exceeding maximum timeframe which is 150% of required credits. Prior to
Summer 2014 there was a presumption made by Department of Education and the Financial Aid Office of 120
required credits with known program exceptions. Beginning in July 2014 all majors/minors a student is
enrolled in to complete their degree is reported with the required degree credits to the Department of Education
for monitoring. Students who were first time borrowers after July 2014 will not be eligible for subsidized loans
once they reach their 150% of required credits to graduate.
Fall 2013 Students with SAP Problems 849
Fall 2014 Students with SAP Problems 786
Change - 63 less students with SAP problems in Fall 2014. The decrease was greatest with students being
warned for GPA and GPA/Pace concerns. In Fall 2014 there was an increase in students with maximum time
frame warnings and suspension. Students who are placed on academic plans for SAP are adhering to their
designated plans. Maximum time frame warnings and suspensions appeals will increase the number of
students on academic plans with a targeted graduation date.
