Grade-Point Average Requirements

To be eligible to register continuously without conditions, a student must maintain good academic standing. The following scholastic standards, relative to completed credits and grade-point average (GPA), determine a student's academic standing:

• A minimum GPA of 1.75 is required for those who complete fewer than 27 credits (freshmen).
• A minimum GPA of 1.90 is required for those who complete 27-59 credits (sophomores).
• A minimum GPA of 2.00 is required for those who complete 60 credits or more (juniors and seniors).
