Academic Standing

To remain in good academic standing, students must maintain a minimum average of 2.000 per semester and cumulatively.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards

All students must meet the standards of good academic standing and satisfactory academic progress as defined below. Students not meeting these standards may be placed on academic probation (or dismissed) and may become ineligible for New York State and federal aid. A one-time waiver for one semester may be granted to regain eligibility for New York State aid, if failure to meet these standards is due to extraordinary circumstances. The Office of Student Finance and the Dean will determine if the student is eligible for a one-time waiver.

These standards are applicable to all students. They are required for certification by New York State for financial assistance under Section 145-2.2 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education and are required by federal regulations to receive aid under Title IV of the Higher Education Act.
