Academic Overview
Academic Policies
Academic progression and completion of the program are based on the following requirements:
- Completion Criteria: 2.70 cumulative GPA average or above in all courses within the final Global Pathways term.
- Progression Criteria: 2.70 cumulative GPA average or above in all courses within any Global Pathways term.
If GPA of 2.70 is not achieved:
- Probation Criteria: 2.69 and below cumulative GPA average. Students may repeat all courses with a C grade or below. Regular advising and tutoring will also be mandated. A student may be dismissed from 泫圖弝け if they are unable to achieve the required 2.70 cumulative GPA average upon completing their probationary term.
- Dismissal: Students with a 1.0 cumulative GPA or below will be dismissed from 泫圖弝け.
Navigating The Quality Point System
- Percentages are converted into letter grades by instructors, which are then converted into quality points on a 4.0 scale. Progression calculations are determined using only the .
- An F in University 101 does not count towards progression calculations.
- P grades in any course are not factored into Global Pathways GPA calculations.
- Incomplete (I) grades are strongly discouraged and may delay your progression. If a student takes an I grade at the end of term and does not resolve the grading issue quickly, the student will be suspended for the following semester.
Attendance Policy
Students are required to maintain a minimum attendance rate of 85% in every English Language class in which they are enrolled.
- In a 14-week Spring or Fall Global Pathways course that meets 28 times, students are required to attend a minimum of 24 times (85%). Four absences are permitted.
- In a 12-week Summer Global Pathways course that meets 26 times, students are required to attend a minimum of 22 times (85%). Four absences are permitted.
- Students who miss between 5 and 30 minutes of a class will be marked "late". Three "lates" in a course equals one absence.
- Students who miss more than 30 minutes of a class will be marked "absent".
- Students who may require an extended absence due to extenuating circumstances (such as a personal, family, or medical emergency) must meet with their GP Academic Advisor.
