Academic Progress

Each student enrolled in a degree or diploma program is expected to maintain satisfactory progress toward completion of requirements for the degree or diploma.  At the end of each semester, the student's semester grade point average and cumulative grade point average will be reviewed.

To be considered making satisfactory academic progress, a student must maintain at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point average related to the number of credit hours attempted.

Cumulative grade point average will be used to determine each student's academic progress and status at Johnston Community College.  This average is applicable also for purposes of certification to the Veterans Administration; Social Security Administration; State Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services; student grants, loans, scholarships, other college financial aid; and other public and private agencies authorized to receive this information.

Reports of academic progress are included on grade reports mailed to all students following the end of each semester.  Records of progress are kept by the registrar on veteran and non-veteran students alike.  Additional academic progress standards are required for students who are receiving financial aid.
