In the United States, postsecondary institutions participating in federal financial aid programs determine students' continued eligibility to receive Title IV federal funding using Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) procedures at the conclusion of the 1st year of enrollment. Students' failure to meet the SAP requirements can affect student persistence, degree completion, and matriculation to a senior level institution. The community college district under study decided to eliminate the SAP appeal process without evaluating student persistence data. The current study used a causal--comparative research design with archival data to investigate the impact of 3 different student cohorts of eligibility, credit hours, and grade-point average on persistence. The research questions addressed significant mean differences of the SAP reinstated, SAP ineligible, and non-Title IV eligible cohorts for credit hours and grade point averages through multivariate analysis of variance. Post hoc analysis revealed only credit hours was a significant independent variable. The results suggest that the current policy does not benefit student persistence, which led to the policy analysis project. This analysis laid out a transparent process for policy implementation, reinstatement of SAP appeals, communication of policy decisions to policy actors, identification and prioritization of SAP policy components, communication of the financial aid policy using a 2-way information system, communication of district and college financial aid administrators' roles and responsibilities, definition of an annual SAP policy evaluation, and a SAP comparative cost benefit analysis. Implementing student attrition intervention strategies could influence positive social change to improve academic success, persistence, and degree completion.
