Academic Progress
CCC&TI’s academic standards policies attempt to maintain academic quality and prevent prolonged failure for all students. Procedures are designed to identify students with academic difficulty and to ensure effective and fair corrective action. Maintaining a viable procedure requires the commitment of faculty, staff, and students. The faculty/staff will:
- inform all students of minimum academic standards and grading procedures,
- alert at-risk students through an Early Alert form of academic difficulty as early in the semester as possible,
- post to WebAdvisor final semester grades and grade point averages immediately following the semester grade report period. Note: Copies of the policies for specific programs in health sciences are distributed to each student enrolled and are available with each program director and in the office of Student Services.
Each student is expected to maintain satisfactory progress toward meeting his/her academic goals. The cumulative grade point average (GPA) is reviewed at the end of each semester to determine whether the student has made the expected progress. Developmental courses are included in the cumulative GPA calculation if the course was completed with CCC&TI. The GPA will be calculated using the highest grade for each course taken at Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute. A student whose cumulative GPA falls below the following standards will be placed on academic warning which may be followed by probation and or suspension.
