Students are considered to be making "satisfactory progress" toward a degree if they attain a cumulative GPA consistent with the table listed below. Incomplete ("I") and In Progress ("IP") grades are tentative grades and until changed are not considered in computing either the cumulative grade point average or the grade point average for the particular semester concerned. "W" hours do not count as hours attempted or in the GPA. (See section on Withdrawal Procedures)
Semester Credit Hours |
Minimum Cumulative GPA |
| 0 - 15 | 1.70 |
| 16-30 | 1.80 |
| 31-45 | 1.90 |
| 46 and Above | 2.00 |
Students failing to achieve the
minimum GPAs listed above will be
placed on academic probation. The
student will remain on probation
until the minimum GPA is achieved,
providing the student earns a minimum
semester GPA of 2.00. If a student
already on academic probation fails
to earn a semester GPA of 2.00, the
student will be placed on academic
suspension. The student will be
prohibited from further attendance at
Mesa State College for a minimum of
one semester (see Academic Probation
and Suspension section.)
A student must achieve a cumulative
grade point average of 2.00 or higher
to graduate at the certificate, associate,
or baccalaureate level. Some programs
have additional GPA requirements
to remain in and graduate from that
program. See Programs of Study section
and subject program sheet for specifics.
