College Credit Programs
The regulations regarding academic progress apply to all credit students regardless of the beginning date of attendance. In determining academic progress, all credits are combined: college and developmental education or college preparatory. Transfer courses and courses taken for audit will not be included in the determination of academic standing. “Attempted” is defined as any course in which a student has processed an official registration and in which a student remains enrolled after the schedule adjustment period excluding any course for which a student receives a refund. A student’s academic standing is determined at the end of the term in which the 13th hour is attempted. At the end of that semester and every semester thereafter, a student must have earned credit in one-half of all hours attempted and have a cumulative grade point average dependent upon those attempted hours as follows:
|
Attempted Hours

Completion Requirements

|
1.75

|
46 or more

See the Grading Policy for an explanation of cumulative grade point average calculation; however, the GPA referred to here is a combined GPA of all courses regardless of level (college, vocational, developmental/preparatory).
Good Standing. A student is in good standing when the above requirements are met.
Academic Warning. A student is considered to be in good standing while in the warning status.
Academic Probation. A student will be placed on academic probation, after being on warning, at the end of a semester if any one of the conditions in the above table is not met.
Academic Suspension. A student will be suspended, after being on probation, if any one of the conditions in the above table is not met.
Suspension Waiver. A student may request approval to re-enroll after suspension by filing a formal appeal to the Student Academic Appeals Committee. Appeal procedures may be obtained in the Registrar’s Office. If approved, the student will be permitted to enroll in a status of Suspension Waiver and is expected to complete all classes attempted with grades of C or better. In some instances, the Committee will establish additional enrollment conditions. If disapproved, the student may be dismissed. See Academic Dismissal.
Academic Dismissal. If the conditions of the Suspension Waiver are not met, the student may be dismissed for one semester. A student may appeal a dismissal to the Student Academic Appeals Committee. If approved, the student will re-enroll in the status of Suspension Waiver. If disapproved, the student will be required to sit out for one semester. Committee disapproval may be appealed to the Vice President, Academic and Student Affairs.
