Satisfactory Academic Progress

Academic Probation: A student who attempts six or more credit hours of academic credit must achieve a grade point average of at least 1.75 per semester. Failure to maintain the minimum g.p.a. of 1.75 per semester will result in Academic Probation for the next semester of attendance.

Academic Suspension: If the grade point is not at least 1.75 at the end of the semester of academic probation, the student may be placed on academic suspension. A student demonstrating satisfactory academic progress (at least 1.75 for an academic semester) may avoid suspension while remaining on academic probation until the cumulative g.p.a. reaches at least 1.75 for an academic semester. A student who is academically suspended from college may not re-enroll at Southwestern Community College for another term unless written permission from the Director of Student Services is granted.
