Students working toward completion of a degree, certificate, or diploma must complete all required courses in their program with a minimum cumulative 2.00 GPA (C average). The chart below describes the minimum GPA that students in a curriculum must achieve in order to maintain satisfactory academic progress toward graduation--or to receive D.V.A. benefits or financial aid.* To assist students in maintaining satisfactory progress, free counseling and tutoring services are available, in addition to faculty advising.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Scale:

Cumulative Semester	Minimum Cumulative
Hours Attempted	GPA Earned
0-16	1.25
17-30	1.50
31-45	1.75
46 or more	2.00

*Additional measurements of progress are considered in determining satisfactory academic progress for financial aid purposes. Students should obtain a copy of "Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements for Financial Aid Recipients" from the Financial Aid Office.
