Satisfactory Academic Progress
Students who earn a cumulative GPA at the end of a semester of less than 2.0 are placed on academic probation. The semester GPA is calculated according to the College’s grading system and grade point formula found in sections Grading System and Grade Point Average (GPA) of the college catalog.
Students who are placed on academic probation or are admitted on probation must earn a minimum of a 2.0 GPA the following term of attendance to remove themselves from probation. Students who fail to earn a 2.0 GPA while on probation are subject to academic suspension. A student who receives an academic suspension may apply for re-admission after one full term. During the first semester of enrollment after academic suspension, a student is placed on academic probation.
Overall GPA must be 2.0 or better before graduation can occur. Graduation grade point average is calculated only on those courses required for graduation. When a course is taken more than once, the final attempt will be used in calculating the grade point average for graduation.
