Academic Standards
Standards of Progress for Credit Students
- Good Standing: Students whose term grade-point average (GPA) and cumulative GPA are above 2.0 are in good standing for the following semester.
- Academic Warning: Students whose term GPA or cumulative GPA are below 2.0 will be placed on academic warning for the following semester. Students on academic warning will not be restricted from registering but are encouraged to meet with an advisor to plan strategies for improving academic performance.
- Academic Probation: Students whose term GPA or cumulative GPA remains below 2.0 after the academic warning term will be placed on academic probation for the following semester. Students on academic probation will be restricted from registering until they meet with a probation counselor to identify strategies for improving academic performance.
- Continuing on Academic Probation: Students whose term GPA or cumulative GPA remains below 2.0 following the academic probation term will remain on academic probation for the next semester of attendance. Students on academic probation will be restricted from registering until they meet with a probation counselor to identify strategies for improving academic performance.
- Academic Suspension: Students whose term GPA and cumulative GPA are below 2.0 at the end of the academic probation term will be suspended for one semester. Students on academic suspension will be restricted from registering for a semester and must meet with a counselor to identify strategies for improving academic performance.
Standards of Progress for Career Development Students
- Students wishing to pursue a degree, diploma, or certificate at the College may be accepted as Career Development students; however, they must complete any required placement tests or provide official evidence of prior college work in order to be accepted into their degree, diploma, or certificate program. Career Development students will be contacted by the Admission Office when they have accumulated 16 or more credit hours in Career Development.
- The Admissions counselors will encourage students to complete their admissions into a credit program. Career Development students are subject to the same standards of academic progress as students enrolled in degree programs.
Standards of Progress for Developmental Courses
- Students enrolled in one or more non-developmental courses are evaluated by the standards of progress for credit students.
- Students enrolled only in Developmental courses must maintain satisfactory progress as measured by grades of "S" or "SC". Fifty percent or more of unsatisfactory grades of "U" will cause a student to be placed on academic probation. Any student on academic probation who fails to earn a majority of satisfactory work by the end of their next semester of work will be subject to suspension at the end of the probationary semester.
- Enrollment in developmental education courses numbering 001 through 099 (mathematics, reading, and English) shall be limited to a maximum of 30 semester hours. Students with extenuating circumstances who wish to appeal the maximum limit should contact an Admissions counselor in Student Services for further information.
- Cumulative GPA is a calculation of the average of all final course grades the student has earned at York Technical College. It is used to determine honor graduate status. It is also used along with term GPA to determine satisfactory academic progress.
- Term GPA is a calculation of the average of all final course grades a student has earned for a specific term. It is used to determine Dean's List and President's List each term. It is also used along with cumulative GPA to determine satisfactory academic progress each term.
- Please Note: When the same course is repeated, the higher grade is used in the calculation of GPAs
