Satisfactory Academic Progress
Students are considered to be in good standing and making satisfactory academic progress if they maintain a semester GPA of 2.0 or higher. A cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher is required for graduation. This designation appears on the semester grade report and the official transcript. Students who earn a GPA of less than 2.0 for a semester are placed on academic probation. Additional information about SAP is available in the student handbook and on the college website, both may be linked from each course syllabus. Additional information about Academic Probation and Suspension and SAP as it relates specifically to Financial Aid eligibility are included in the Registrar Services and Financial Aid section of the catalog; respectively.
NOTE: Students enrolled in the Health Services programs should refer to the specific academic requirements for these programs.
NOTE: Health Sciences students enrolled in the Registered Nursing (RN) or Practical Nursing (PN) programs must maintain continuous semester academic progression requirements as outlined in the program progression requirements. Students unsuccessful in meeting progression requirements must withdraw from the program and may petition for enrollment back into the program as course sequencing permits. Students who fail to earn a program defined satisfactory grade in any course in the RN or PN programs required for their selected program of study may repeat a course one time only. Students with a second unsatisfactory attempt of the same occupational course or of any subsequent occupational course in the same program will not be eligible for a third attempt and will not be eligible for readmission into the same program. Students should refer to specific procedures and requirements for all Health Science programs before entering and throughout completion progression (See Course Progression)
