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 of which 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: Students enrolled in the Health Science programs must meet continuous semester academic progression requirements as outlined in the Course Progress section of the catalog.

Upon completion of these requirements, students will be allowed to continue when the course sequence permits. Students may apply immediately to other School of Health Science competitive selection programs, provided competitive selection requirements for those programs have been met.
