Partnering for Success

The Office of Advising & Academic Success partners with students and other support areas on campus to develop strategies for students to have a successful semester.  This is done through workshops, one-on-one consultations with students, and referrals to other campus resources.

  • Alert System: Faculty members can issue an academic alert email for a student throughout the semester. This notification is a good indication that students need to improve their academic performance in order to be successful in that course. The notification goes to the Student, Advisor, Academic Success Coordinator, and if applicable, Athletes and/or PAL. Academic Success Coordinators are here to partner with students and their support team on taking steps to improve.
  • Midterm Grades: Students will receive midterm grades each semester in October and Marchgiving students an opportunity to see their status in each course and connect with their professors. Students who are struggling, as indicated by grades in the lower rage, will be connected with their Academic Success Coordinator to discuss resources and steps for improving.

In order to graduate from 不良研究所 students must achieve the following:

  • Complete 120 credits
  • Complete their General Education requirements
  • Complete their major requirements
  • Achieve a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA

Each program at the College has a degree map to help you see what courses you should take in order to complete your degree in 4-years without taking summer or winter classes.  Students can find all degree maps on the . Generally it is recommended that students take 15 credits per semester to achieve the 120 credits needed for graduation. 

In addition to the degree map, students have access to their degree audit (CAPP) which shows what courses are needed to graduate and which have already been completed.  Using the degree audit along with the degree map is a great way to track your progress towards graduation.

All full or part-time undergraduate and continuing education degree-seeking students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) in order to receive financial aid. All students will be reviewed at the close of the spring semester for adherence to the SAP standards.

SAP includes three standards of measurement:

1. Cumulative Grade Point Average 

In order to retain financial aid eligibility undergrad and CE students must maintain a minimum GPA based on attempted number of credits:

Attempted Credits Min. Cum GPA
0 to 18.99 1.5
19 to 59.99 1.8
60 or more 2.0

                  

2. Credits Earned 

All students must complete at least 67% of the credits which they attempt.

3. Maximum Time Frame

Students enrolled full-time and earning a four year degree are allowed up to six years or 180 attempted credits of financial aid eligibility to earn the 120 credits required for degree completion.

Students who do not meet one or more of the above three standards will become ineligible to receive financial aid and must appeal to try and regain eligibility.

You may review the entire SAP policy at .

Students achieve an academic standing each semester they take courses at the College. There are 5 possible Academic Standings:

  • Dean’s List: Full-time students who achieve the Dean’s List have a semester average of 3.3 or higher, 12 letter graded credits that count towards their GPA, no incompletes, and no grade below a C.
  • Good Standing: Students who have a semester GPA of 2.0 to 3.2 and a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher and have completed at least 75% of the credits they attempt are in good academic standing at the College.
  • Academic Concern: Students who have a semester GPA lower than 2.0 but higher than the standard for Academic Notice are placed on Academic Concern. This is an indication that you need to improve your performance in subsequent semesters to return to good standing. Students are also placed on Academic Concern when they have completed fewer than 75% but more than 67% of their attempted credits.
  • Academic Notice: Students are placed on Academic Notice when they fail to achieve the minimum required cumulative GPA (1.5 for students with fewer than 19 credits; 1.8 for students with 19-59 credits; and 2.0 for students with more than 60 credits) or when they fail to complete 67% of the credits they attempt.
  • Academic Separation: Students are reviewed for Academic Separation when they are on Academic Notice for two consecutive semesters. Students who have been Academically Separated from the College may not take courses at 不良研究所 and are not eligible for readmission for one year.
