How Satisfactory Academic Progress is Calculated

GPA and Cumulative Credits

Your cumulative GPA is calculated using Minneapolis College coursework only.

Your cumulative completion rate is calculated by dividing all earned college-level credits by all attempted college-level credits, including transfer coursework. As of Fall 2021, developmental coursework (numbered less than 1000) is not included in this calculation. You are in good standing if you are meeting the satisfactory academic progress standards listed above.

  1. The first time a student does not meet standards, they are placed on academic and financial aid warning
  2. If a student does not meet standards during their warning period, they are placed on academic and financial aid suspension
  3. A suspended student who is approved to re-enroll and receive financial aid is placed on academic and/or financial aid probation
  4. Once a student on probation has met cumulative satisfactory academic progress standards, they are returned to good standing
