Sound academic principles require that students be required to maintain a minimum level of academic standing. The standards of academic standing measure a student's performance in four areas: cumulative grade-point average (GPA), the
number of credits earned bearing less than a B (3.0), performance in required courses, and completion of degree requirements within a maximum time allowance. The Academic Progression Committee evaluates each matriculated student's academic standing at the end of each term. Students who fail to maintain a minimum level of academic standing will be subject to probation, suspension, or dismissal in accordance with the policies of the school.
