Academic Standing
Academic Standing
To graduate with a degree or certificate from Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³», a student must maintain a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher across all courses required for the program of study (Primary program of study GPA). The academic standing reflects a student’s progress toward meeting this graduation requirement. The program of study GPA is calculated at the end of each term once final grades are posted.
