SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS <br />A student must maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP) in order to remain in training. <br />SAP is cumulative in that it includes all periods of attendance; and all periods of attendance are <br />counted toward the maximum time frame allotted. SAP is applied to all students equally and <br />measured weekly in all programs. In order to comply with the California Science and <br />Technology University's satisfactory academic progress policy, the student must: <br />1. Be enrolled in a program of study with a valid enrollment agreement <br />2. Complete his/her program within the maximum time allowed. Maximum time <br />allowed is 150% of the published program length. <br />3. Maintain satisfactory attendance. <br />For a credit hour program, the credit hours attempted cannot exceed 1.5 times the credit hours <br />required to complete the program. The school is not required to terminate the enrollment of a <br />student who is unable to complete the program within the maximum time frame unless the <br />school has determined that the student has failed to meet school policies that would otherwise <br />warrant termination (e.g., academic progress or attendance policies). For the purposes of <br />reporting student achievement, the school may not classify students who do not complete the <br />program within the maximum time frame as graduates. <br />At CSTU all the students' grades and evaluations are based on demonstrated performance during <br />each course and the level of academic knowledge gained during the course. The grading will <br />consist of letter grades of A through F with grade points as indicated in this catalog. Additional <br />elements of essays, problems, projects and case studies will receive letter grades from the faculty <br />based on the grading rubric established by the CSTU. Each course is based on a total of 100 <br />maximum points. <br />Grade Point Average <br />A student's grade point average (GPA) is obtained by dividing the total number of points earned <br />by the total credit hours attempted. Grades and symbols used to record academic progress are <br />listed in the grading system table below. GPA is based on a maximum of 4.0. Grade points are <br />assigned to all grades as follows: <br />Page 14 of 65 <br />
