S.M.A.R.T. Programs
is a Learning Center unit that emphasizes study skills, mentoring,
academic resources and transition services for new and continuing undergraduates.
SMART Programs professional counselors work with
students receiving financial aid that are referred to the Learning Center by the Satisfactory
Academic Progress (S.A.P.) appeal process.
UCR students who are receiving any type of financial aid are required to show satisfactory
academic progress toward their degree objective in order to continue receiving financial aid. The
specific requirements can be found at www.finaid.ucr.edu/SAP.html.
Students who have not satisfied the S.A.P. requirements have the opportunity to appeal the cancellation
of their financial aid.
Use the appeal process to report:
Extenuating circumstances which prevented you from maintaining satisfactory academic progress
Grade changes
Part-time enrollment as approved by an academic advisor
If you are a student with a letter of referral from the Financial Aid Office, contact the Learning Center at (951) 827-3721.
For more financial aid information, visit the
UCR Financial Aid website.
Students on S.A.P., academic probation, or subject to dismissal status can benefit from the
