Each semester the Associate Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs reviews the academic performance of matriculated students whose cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is below 2.0. This review may result in a status of probation or suspension.
Students falling below the following standards will be designated as not meeting satisfactory academic progress. Failure to meet satisfactory progress will result in either Academic Probation or Academic Suspension.
Academic Probation Definition: A warning which indicates the student will not be on track to graduate because of poor academic performance. The student may remain in the program, but his/her academic progress will be monitored.
Students not meeting the criteria below will be placed on Academic Probation:
| 0-13 | Credits Accumulated (GPA Credit Hours): | below 1.50 CGPA |
| 14-27 | Credits Accumulated (GPA Credit Hours): | below 1.70 CGPA |
| 28-40 | Credits Accumulated (GPA Credit Hours): | below 1.80 CGPA |
| 41+ | Credits Accumulated (GPA Credit Hours): | below 2.00 CGPA |
Calculation of Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be based on all courses taken at the institution, including developmental or remedial courses.
Academic Suspension Definition: Suspension will be from the program or the institution and is usually for one semester. Suspension from the program means that a student may continue to take courses outside of the program as a non-matriculated student. Suspension from the college prohibits a student from taking classes during the period of suspension.
Students not meeting the criteria below will be put on Academic Suspension:
| 0-13 | Credits Accumulated (GPA Credit Hours): | below 0.50 CGPA |

| 41+ | Credits Accumulated (GPA Credit Hours): | below 1.50 CGPA |
OR A student who does not meet satisfactory progress for Academic Probation for three consecutive semesters will be placed on Academic Suspension.
Students placed on probation must take one semester off from classed and must reapply for admission when choosing to return. When students are readmitted they will be placed on probation and will only be allowed to take up to twelve (12) credits, unless they choose to appeal.
Financial aid may be in jeopardy if a student fails to achieve satisfactory academic progress as defined above.
