Academic Student Progress

What is Academic Student Progress?

Academic Student Progress refers to Seattle College District Policy Number 311 that affects all students enrolled in certificate or degree programs and students taking prerequisite college courses numbered 100 and above.

Students are expected to make satisfactory academic progress while enrolled at the Seattle Colleges. Satisfactory progress means that students are passing and completing their coursework and educational programs. Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0. Students are placed on Academic Alert the first quarter their GPA falls below a 2.0. Students are placed on Academic Probation when their cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 for two consecutive quarters of attendance. Three quarters of low scholarship may result in Academic Suspension.

Students who are enrolled in specialized programs such as Seattle Promise, High School Completion, Running Start, International Students, certain career training programs, Veterans, and students receiving Financial Aid may have different and/or additional academic standard requirements and appeal processes to those listed below. Students in these programs should contact their program’s advisor for more information.
