SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS AND PROMOTION
Promotion is defined as progression from one academic year to the next. Progression from one academic year to the next is determined by the grading and remediation policies stated in this document.
• Students must receive a final grade of satisfactory letter grade of “C” or above for the course
• Students must successfully complete remediation
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:
• Cumulative GPA
• Successful course completion rate
• Maximum time frame – credits attempted relative to the maximum credits attempted that are allowed (1.5 times the credits in the student’s program)

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 Progression
Students enrolled in the PharmD program must attain a Cumulative GPA 2.0 at the end of the first quarter. Students must maintain a 2.0 Cumulative GPA each quarter thereafter.

Completion Rate Requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progression
At the midpoint of the first academic year (up to and including 18 quarter credit hours attempted), students enrolled in the PharmD 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 student has attempted.
