Satisfactory Progress
Satisfactory academic progress is determined by two criteria: good academic standing and normal progress.
Good Academic Standing
A student is in Good Standing if he/she is not on University academic probation or dismissed from the University.
Any student not in Good Standing may not represent the University in any public manner as a member or officer of a University registered club or organization, delegate to any association meeting or convention, or participant in intercollegiate athletic competitions. Any student who is placed on University academic probation will be ineligible to represent the University in any of the above activities. Effective time and dates of ineligibility are 12:01 a.m. on the Friday prior to the start of the semester.
Normal Academic Progress
A student whose credits completed fall below the minimum listed is considered as not making normal academic progress.
