Academic Progress
All degree- and/or certificate-seeking students are expected to make satisfactory progress toward their declared objectives. During the full-time student's first term in college, the student is expected to maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.0 or C average. Part-time students are expected to have maintained a grade-point average of 2.0 after attempting twelve (12) credit hours.
Regular class attendance is necessary if a student is to receive maximum benefit from college enrollment. The student must make arrangements for makeup work and absences with the instructor, who will determine whether an absence can be excused. If absences or tardiness affect the quality of work, the instructor may recommend dropping the student from the course. Instructors will permit students to make up work missed because of field trips and activities approved by the college. Also, see special requirements for allied health programs.
The grade point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the number of grade points earned by the total number of credit hours attempted. For example, if a student earned one hundred (100) grade points and attempted forty (40) semester hours of work, the grade points would be divided by forty (40) to arrive at a 2.5 grade point average. The following table shows the grades, symbols, and grade-point equivalents.
Grades are available through the on-line Entrata information system. For more information, please contact the Student Services Office at your college.
