Each student is expected to make satisfactory progress toward degree completion. To be in good academic standing, a student must have at least a 2.00 cumulative GPA. Satisfactory academic progress requires the completion of at least 12 credit hours per semester for full-time students, with a minimum cumulative GPA and a minimum earned credit hours that would not subject the student to academic dismissal. Full-time students should acquire the number of credit hours necessary for a bachelor’s degree in eight semesters. Students should complete a minimum of 15 to 16 credit hours per semester to achieve their degree in these time frames. The Federal Department of Education has specific guidelines for determining satisfactory progress for financial aid eligibility. Please see Satisfactory Academic Progress for information on standards of progress for students receiving federal financial aid.
