Satisfactory Academic Progress and Status
A student is considered to be making satisfactory academic progress if he/she maintains a GPA of 2.0 or higher. A student’s academic status is determined by the student’s cumulative GPA and the number of credit hours earned, compared to the number attempted shown on the table below. These standards will not apply until a student has attempted a minimum of twelve (12) credits.
