Satisfactory Academic Progress
Criteria for Satisfactory Academic Progress:
Regulations mandate that UHD evaluate grade point average, course completion rate, and maximum timeframe.
- Grade Point Average (GPA) refers to the average of all grades that have been earned at UHD.
- Completion rate refers to the number of hours you have earned versus the number of hours attempted. This requirement takes into consideration both transfer hours and hours earned at UHD. To determine the completion rate, divide the cumulative number of hours earned by the cumulative number of hours attempted.
- Maximum timeframe refers to the length of time it takes to earn a degree.
| UNDERGRADUATE AND POST-BACCALAUREATE STUDENT REQUIREMENTS | |
|---|---|
| Grade Point Average (GPA) | Undergraduate students must maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade point average in all hours attempted at UHD. |
| Completion Rate | Students must complete 73% of all hours attempted, including transfer hours. |
