Satisfactory Academic Progress

Students are expected to do well in their course and move efficiently through the academic program. Students who demonstrate poor academic performance and fail to maintain satisfactory academic progress will be placed on academic probation, suspended, dismissed, or allowed to continue their studies under certain conditions.

Satisfactory Progress

Students are making satisfactory academic progress if they:

1. Pass all courses in two attempts and comprehensive examinations in two attempts; and
2. Complete at least three quarters of their courses with grades of C or better (first-semester freshmen must complete at least two thirds of all their courses with grades of C or better); and
3. Maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (C) or better.
