Procedure to Add Items

1. Select Yes to Allow SAP Enrollment Linking Select Yes to allow previous permanent out enrollments to be linked to subsequent enrollments for SAP calculations and link enrollments using the Enrollment Wizard and the Re-Entry Wizard, as long as the user is also configured as a member of the Staff Group AD - SAP Linked Enrollment. Select No to link only enrollments from the Enrollment folder..

2. Select the appropriate check boxes to define the SAP Modes to calculate SAP in Anthology Student.

   Academic Calendar	SAP Modes Indicates the options used for SAP calculation. The following modes are available: All, Term Only, Cumulative Only, Term and Cumulative, Payment Period Only, Payment Period and Term, Payment Period and Cumulative.
   	Cumulative Select this check box to select the Cumulative option. When you select this option, multiple enrollments are considered in the calculation.	Payment Period The payment period associated with the enrollment. Payment periods only apply to program versions configured with an academic year.	Term The first term you want to evaluate. The selected term is the first term for which SAP is calculated. The SAP calculation then processes each subsequent term through the most recently completed term. You cannot run SAP by Term Sequence if you are evaluating Partial Terms. The list includes the terms for your default campus with an end date before or equal to the current date. The term must also be configured to be a SAP term. If you are evaluating a student, Anthology Student lists the terms for your default campus for the student. If you are evaluating more than one student, Anthology Student lists all the terms for your default campus.
   1. Non-standard terms Indicates that programs configured as non-standard terms apply payment periods for Title IV loans where the academic terms are not at least 9 weeks or not substantially equal (having a difference in length of greater than 14 days). Non-standard terms in the Academic Calendar list are calculated based on the number of academic year sequences using the following formula: Value Displayed for Total Credits / Value for Full Academic Year Credits.	You can select any or all of the check boxes. All modes are enabled and available for selection.
   2. Standard terms of quarters Indicates the program version is configured to use standard terms of quarters.	You can select the Cumulative and/or Term check box. Both modes are available for selection. The Payment Period check box is disabled for selection.
   3. Standard terms of semesters Indicates the program version is configured to use standard terms of semesters.
   4. Standard terms of trimesters Indicates the program version is configured to use standard terms of trimesters.
   5. Clock hours The clock hours earned for the course.	If you select the Payment Period check box, Term and Cumulative are disabled. If you select Term or Cumulative, Payment Period is disabled.
   6. Credit hours without terms Indicates non-traditional academic calendar. This option corresponds to the calendar option required by the Department of Education.

   • Term SAP cannot be run without grades being posted. The completed dates for the grades must be inside the term dates.

   • When running cumulative SAP, Anthology Student does not filter data based on the student's enrollment or last SAP status. If the student has 4 enrollments, the system will evaluate all credits for all 4 enrollments.

   • You can run the SAP Audit Report to determine the previous/current earned/attempted credits, GPA, and SAP status (refer to SAP Audit).
