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 included in the Financial Aid section of the catalog and in the student handbook, both available on the college website and also linked from each course syllabus. Additional information about Academic Probation and Suspension is included in the Registrar Services section of the catalog.
NOTE: Students enrolled in the Health Services programs should refer to the specific academic requirements for these programs.
NOTE: Health Sciences students who fail to earn a program defined satisfactory grade in any course required for their selected program of study may repeat a course one time only. Students with a second failure of the same occupational course or of any subsequent course in the same program will not be eligible to progress in the program. Students with two academic failures in occupational courses will not be allowed a third attempt. This applies to all occupational courses in the School of Health Sciences except for those occupational courses in the Health Information Technology, Fire Science, Health Care Science, Health Care Assistant, and Nurse Aide programs.
