Provisions for measuring the student’s progress toward satisfactory completion of the program include maintaining:
- A minimum cumulative theory grade level of 75%
- A minimum cumulative academic level of 75% or higher on practical skill assessment.*
- To determine whether a student meets the academic requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress, theory and practical grades are averaged together to give a minimum cumulative academic grade of 75%.
- A minimum cumulative attendance of 80% of scheduled hours**
*To meet the state practical requirements for graduation, students must eventually complete all assigned practical skill assessments. See GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS IN COURSE.
**To determine your rate of attendance, divide the cumulative number of hours completed by the scheduled hours to date.
A student who has not achieved the minimum cumulative GPA of 75% and/or who has not successfully completed at least a cumulative rate of attendance of 80% is not eligible for Title IV assistance, if applicable, unless the student is on warning or has prevailed upon appeal of the determination that resulted in a status of Financial Aid Probation. The Department of Education requires a Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for students receiving Title IV aid, however, the school has decided to adopt this policy for all students regardless of funding source.
