Scenario

Sally provided a transcript to YC from her previous school before SAP was run at the end of the term. She had 20 transfer credits, but YC accepted 15 of those credits. Transfer credits count as attempted and earned.

Her Financial Aid Overview shows that she has attempted 12 credits at YC and earned 6 of those credits. She plans to enroll in a 3-credit course next semester.

Existing credits entered into the calculator
Credit type Earned Attempted
Transfer credits 15 15
YC credits 6 12
Total credits 21 27

Example showing 21 earned hours and 27 attempted hours entered into the SAP calculator.

Sally's current ROP would calculate as 77.77%, which is above the SAP standard of 66.67%.

Adding anticipated credits

Sally plans to attempt and earn 3 credits next semester.

Anticipated credits
