xxxxxxx Academic Policies, Procedures & Support Services
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Students are considered to be maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) when their GPA (Grade Point
Average) is 2.00 or higher. Failure to make SAP will place the student in one or the other of the following four
categories: Academic Probation, Progress Probation, Academic Dismissal or Progress Dismissal. For purposes of
this section, semesters shall be considered consecutive on the basis of the student’s enrollment pattern rather than
a calendar pattern. For example, the semesters of a student enrolled fall, not spring, but again in fall are considered
to be consecutive.
Academic and Progress Probation Status
Academic Probation 1
(on Probation for the 1st time)
A student, who has accumulated at least 12 semester
units, as shown by the official transcript, shall be placed
on academic probation if the student has earned a cumulative
GPA of between 1.00 and 1.99 in units which were
graded on the basis of the grading scale A, B, C, D, or F.
Removal from Academic Probation 1
A student on academic probation status 1 shall be removed
from probation if their cumulative GPA is 2.00
or higher at the end of their probationary semester.
Academic Probation 2
(on Probation for a 2nd semester)
A student, who continues to have a cumulative GPA below
2.0 in the semester after being placed on academic
probation status 1, will be placed on academic probation
status 2.
Removal from Academic Probation 2
A student on academic probation status 2 shall be removed
from probation if their cumulative GPA is 2.00
or higher at the end of their probationary semester. If a
student’s cumulative GPA continues to be below a 2.0,
the student will be placed on Academic Dismissal. (See
the Dismissal section below.)
Progress Probation
A student who has accumulated at least 12 semester units,
as shown by the official academic record, shall be placed
on progress probation when the percentage of all units in
which they have enrolled in for which entries of FW, W, I, or
NP are recorded reaches or exceeds 50 percent.
Removal from Progress Probation
A student on progress probation shall be removed
from probation when the percentage of total units
completed is above 50 percent of all units attempted.
Students will continue to be on Progress Probation
until the number of completed units is above 50 percent
of their attempted units. If a student completes
less than 50 percent of his/her attempted units in 3
consecutive semesters (based on the student’s enrollment
pattern), he/she will be placed on Progress Dismissal.
(See the Dismissal section below.)
