SCOPE/COVERAGE

This progression policy applies to all students (didactic and experiential) in the SON Graduate Program in 2019 onwards.

Promotion is defined as progression from one academic year to the next.

  • A student will be recommended for promotion by the Academic Progression & Professionalism Committee.
  • A student will not be recommended for progression from one academic year to the next with any grades of “I” on his/her academic record.
  • Professional, ethical, and personal conduct will also be evaluated when considering a student for promotion.

To be in good academic standing with the University and to be eligible to receive Title IV aid, students must maintain SAP. At the end of each quarter (payment period), each student is evaluated on three components to determine if he/she is maintaining SAP:

  1. Cumulative GPA
  2. Successful course completion rate
  3. Maximum time frame – credits attempted relative to the maximum credits attempted that are allowed (1.5 times the credits in the student’s program).

See the University Catalog for more information.
