EVALUATION POINTS FOR SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS

Satisfactory academic progress evaluation points are tied to the student’s academic credits. The EVALUATION
POINTS STANDARDS chart describes the evaluation points standards.

Cumulative GPA Requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress
Students enrolled in the SON Graduate Program must attain a Cumulative GPA 3.0 at the end of the first 18 credits attempted. Students must maintain a 3.0 Cumulative GPA each quarter thereafter.

Completion Rate Requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress
At the midpoint of the first academic year (up to and including 18 quarter credit hours attempted), students enrolled in the SON Graduate Program and Post-grad FNP certificate program must have completed a minimum of 67% of the cumulative credits attempted. From that point (18 quarter credit hours attempted) to the end of the second academic year (up to and including 72 credit hours attempted), students must complete a minimum of 67% of the cumulative credits attempted to be making satisfactory progress. From 72.1 to the end of his/her program, the student must complete a minimum of 67% of the cumulative credits attempted to be making satisfactory progress. Any credits for which the student has remained enrolled past the Drop period and has incurred a financial obligation are considered in this calculation. To calculate the completion rate, divide cumulative quarter credit hours a student successfully completed by cumulative quarter credit hours the student has attempted.
