What is Satisfactory Academic Progress and how does it apply to me?
Once you have been enrolled at Bishop State for two or more semesters, you must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress standards by maintaining at least a 1.75 cumulative GPA and average passing 67% of all hours attempted. Grades of W and F count against your passing percentage. If you have been notified by our office that you are not making satisfactory progress and you feel that there are extenuating circumstances that you wish us to consider, you must send your explanation in writing to the financial aid office. Your explanation will be reviewed and a decision made within 3-5 working days as to whether you will be given a conditional exception to these standards.
