令人满意的学业进展

Saint Paul 大学 is dedicated to providing all students with the opportunity to reach their educational goals. Students are responsible for maintaining an acceptable level of academic progress. To support their efforts to meet academic standards, students should attend class regularly and actively engage in the learning process. Students are also expected to monitor their own academic progress.

Federal regulations require that a college develop a standard of satisfactory academic progress. This satisfactory academic progress standard must have both a qualitative standard (grade point average) and a quantitative standard (course completion). Students bear primary responsibility for their own academic progress and for seeking assistance when experiencing academic difficulty. The following standards are used to determine a student’s academic and financial aid standing. 令人满意的学业进展 is reviewed at the end of the Fall Semester, 春季学期, 每学年的夏季学期.

定性标准

学生必须保持至少2.0 cumulative GPA for all coursework including withdrawals, 不完整的s and non-credit courses. For repeated courses, the highest grade achieved will be used for the GPA. 转学分不会影响学生的GPA.

量化的标准

学生必须完成66.67% of the cumulative credits attempted based on their enrollment status. All college-level credits attempted will be calculated using the completion percentage. This includes courses that are designated with a withdrawal, 不完整的, non-credit courses and courses that have been repeated. Any coursework that has been accepted as transfer credit toward current program completion will also be included in progress made toward the current program.

学业和财政援助警告

Students who do not meet the cumulative standards at the end of a semester of enrollment will be placed on 学业和财政援助警告 for the next semester of enrollment. When the warning is issued a registration hold is placed on the student’s account.

缓刑

Students who have successfully appealed their suspension will be placed on probation for the next enrolled semester. During probation, students must meet the college’s 2.0 cumulative grade point average and cumulative 66.67% completion rate requirement to return to good standing at the end of the semester. Students who fail to meet the cumulative requirements for GPA and completion will be placed back on suspension.

最大时间框架

All students are expected to complete their program within an acceptable period of time.
