It has been awhile since I have looked at this and perhaps others can correct me if I am wrong, but I do believe Student Achievement Initiative (SAI) points are awarded for completion of an associates degree. It doesn't mention completion of bachelor degrees. </div>

I have added Summer on this email, to see if she can clarify. It may or may not be data worth considering in construction of degrees. Summer, do SAI points get awarded only for associate degrees? </div>
