Dunlap-Stone University Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

Undergraduate and Open Enrollment Students While a minimum grade of D is required to pass an undergraduate class, students must maintain a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) throughout the program in which they are enrolled. Students dropping below a 2.0 cumulative GPA will be placed on academic probation and counseled. Required courses within a major may require a C- or better. 

Graduate Students While a minimum grade of C is required to pass a graduate-level class, students must maintain a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) throughout the program in which they are enrolled. Students dropping below a 3.0 cumulative GPA will be placed on academic probation and counseled. 

Monitoring Process Students’ academic standing and progress are closely monitored and at regular intervals students are evaluated for SAP. Students are furnished progress records and notified when they do not meet the minimum standards. These students are placed on academic probation and notified of their status by the Office of the Registrar. The date of correspondence from the university notifying the student is used to determine the point when educational benefits should be discontinued and when the student ceased to make satisfactory progress.
