Students must maintain satisfactory Academic progress in order to remain eligible to continue as regularly enrolled students of the school. Additionally, satisfactory Academic progress is must be maintained in order to remain eligible to continue receiving Federal financial Assistance.

Federal regulations require that all students progress at a reasonable rate. Satisfactory academic progress is measured by:

(a) The student’s cumulative grade point average (CGPA)

(b) The student’s rate of progress toward completion (ROP) (c ) The maximum time frame allowed to complete the academic program (150 % for all programs)

EVALUATION PERIODS SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS

Satisfactory academic progress is measured at the end of each module ( at the end of 4 weeks). If the 25% point or the midpoint occurs within a module, the evaluation will occur at the end of the preceding module.

GPA AND CGPA CALCULATIONS

At the end of each academic term, the student’s cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is reviewed to determine the student’s qualitative progress. When a student repeats a course, the students CGPA will be recalculated based on the higher of the two grades earned. Grades for withdrawals, incompletes have no effect on the student’s CGPA. Students must attain a minimum CGPA of 1.0 at the end of the first 25% of the program and a 1.5 CGPA at the midpoint of the program.

RATE OF PROGRESS TOWARD COMPLETION (ROP) REQUIREMENTS

In order to complete training within a specified time, the student must maintain a satisfactory rate of progress as defined below:

Students who have reached the halfway point of their normal program completion time must have successfully completed 25% of the clock hours attempted.

Students who have reached the halfway point of their maximum program completion time must have completed 60% of the Clock hours attempted.

Students who have reached 75% of their maximum program completion time must have successfully completed 66.7% of the clock hours attempted.

MAXIMUM TIME FRAME IN WHICH TO GRADUATE

The maximum time frame for completion of all programs is limited by Federal regulation to 150% of the published length of the program. The requirements for rate of progress are to assure that students are progressing at a rate at which they will be able to complete their programs within the maximum time frame. The maximum allowable attempted clock hours are noted.
