• Students must meet an academic performance requirement of at least a 2.0 (‘C’) cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA).
• Students must successfully complete 67% of all courses ever attempted.

All bachelor degree seeking students are limited to no more than 180 credits or150 percent of the published number of credits required for their program.
