Academic Progression

A student who is enrolled at SCHS is in good academic standing until such time as the student is placed on academic warning or dismissed from the College. A student is placed on academic warning when the student’s cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 at the conclusion in any semester of attendance. A student remains on academic warning for one semester of attendance, at the end of which time the student must obtain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. Failure to achieve this GPA results in academic dismissal.
