Academic Standards of Progress

Satisfactory Progress

Students who are not on academic probation or academic suspension will be considered students in good standing if their cumulative grade point average meets or exceeds the following:

Note that financial aid and veterans benefits have their own standards of progress.

Academic Probation

The College may place students on academic probation after they have attempted 6 or more semester credit hours at the College. Students who are on probation must see a Student Success Coach for approval of their proposed course schedule prior to registration. Students on probation may not register for more than 12 semester credit hours in a regular semester (or 6 during summer term).

Continued Probation
If the student on academic probation attains a semester grade point average of at least 2.0 but does not yet raise the cumulative grade point average to the level listed above, probation shall be continued for another semester. 

Academic Suspension

If a student who is on academic probation fails to achieve at least a 2.0 semester grade point average during a semester, and also fails to bring his or her cumulative grade point average to a level that meets or exceeds the applicable standard for academic probation as set forth above, then such student shall be suspended.  A student on academic suspension may appeal his/her suspension through the reinstatement process outlined below:

1. The student shall meet with an Academic Success Professional in the Center for Academic Success to assess learning behaviors and identify strategies appropriate to that student.
2. The student shall subsequently meet with their Student Success Coach to develop a reinstatement proposal informed by the Center for Academic Success analysis.
3. The reinstatement proposal shall be approved or not approved by the Assistant Vice President, Student Success, or their designee.

Multiple Academic Suspension
A student on academic suspension for a second or subsequent time, may re-enroll only after receiving permission from the Assistant Vice President, Student Success or their designee. Students wishing to pursue this option will need to meet with the Assistant Vice President for Student Success for a conference to discuss further enrollment.
