This graduation rate is used to estimate the number of graduates from the incoming freshmen class who may complete their degrees. Some of our undergraduate major programs, which contain our largest enrollments, are longer programs that may take five or more years to complete.
Academic & Behavioral Standards Statement of Satisfactory Academic Progress Full-Time Undergraduate Students Satisfactory academic progress toward a baccalaureate degree as a full-time undergraduate student is obtained by completing 12 or more units per semester or 24 or more units per academic year while maintaining a cumulative GPA of 2.0. Repeated courses previously passed cannot be counted toward minimum satisfac- tory academic progress requirements. The student must complete the degree requirements within the period of time required when progressing at the minimum full-time rate. For example, in a pro- gram requiring 130 units progressing at 12 units, a student would have 11 semesters to complete the program. Full-Time Graduate Students Satisfactory academic progress toward a graduate degree as a full-time graduate student is obtained by completing eight or more units per semester or 16 or more units per academic year while maintaining the minimum cumulative GPA specified by the program requirements in which the student is enrolled. Repeated courses previously passed cannot be counted toward minimum satisfactory academic progress requirements. The student must complete the degree requirements within the period of time required when progressing at the minimum full-time rate. For ex- ample, in a program requiring 96 units progressing at eight units, a student would have 12 semesters to complete the program. Doctoral students are considered full time for a maximum of two years in the dissertation phase of their program. Part-Time Students Satisfactory academic progress toward a degree for a part-time student is obtained by completing six or more units per semester and maintaining a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 for the under- graduate, and four or more units per semester and maintain the minimum program requirement for the graduate student. Repeated courses previously passed cannot be counted toward minimum satisfactory academic progress requirements. The stu- dent must complete the degree requirements within a maximum of three years beyond that required for a full-time student. Exceptions Exceptions to these standards are discussed under any applicable degree program. Academic Probation Any student failing to maintain the minimum grade point average required by their academic program as outlined in the Statement of Satisfactory Academic Progress will be placed on academic probation.
