Students are expected to make satisfactory academic
progress while enrolled at the Seattle Colleges. Academic
progress is defined in terms of a student’s grade point
average (GPA) and how much time a student takes to complete
a degree or certificate program. Time is a function of
credits attempted and earned. Students who do not
demonstrate satisfactory academic progress may be provided
appropriate intervention to improve academic performance.

Students who do not meet this standard may be provided

Students enrolled in degree or certificate programs must,
on a quarterly basis, successfully complete at least 75

provided appropriate intervention to improve academic
performance.


• Degree/Certificate Completion
Students who are enrolled in degree or certificate programs
must complete their programs in at least 125 percent of the
