�� Students unable to take a specific required course<br />
due to work schedule conflicts, emergency<br />
situations, or course scheduling conflicts may<br />

directed study.<br />
�� Associate degree students may apply a maximum<br />
of 8.0 quarter credit hours earned through directed<br />
study to the major core of study.<br />
�� Bachelor’s degree students may apply a<br />
maximum of 16.0 quarter credits of directed study<br />
to the major core of study.<br />
�� Graduate students may complete a maximum<br />
of one course (4.0 quarter credits) through<br />
directed study.<br />
�� Students may not take more than one directed<br />
study course in a single academic term.<br />
�� Diploma students are not eligible for Directed<br />
Study<br />
GRADING SYSTEM AND PROGRESS REPORTS<br />
(See following page for grading scale)<br />
Final grades are reported at the completion of each<br />
grading term and are provided to each student.<br />
NOTE: The D grade is not used for any modules or<br />
courses that are a part of an Allied Health program,<br />
including all "core" courses offered in medical<br />
programs. A grade of 70% or higher is required to pass<br />
these courses. However elimination of the D grade<br />
does not apply to general education and college core<br />
courses. Scores of 69% or less in modular and Allied<br />
Health programs are considered failing grades. For<br />
Nursing program, scores of 75% or less are considered<br />
failing grades. Courses that have been failed<br />
must be retaken. Failed courses must be repeated and<br />
are calculated as an attempt in the Satisfactory Academic<br />
Progress calculations.<br />
GPA AND CGPA CALCULATIONS<br />
�� Grades may be expressed as letter grades or<br />
percentage grades depending on the program.<br />
�� The Grade Point (Percent) Average (GPA) and<br />
Cumulative Grade Point (Percent) Average<br />
(CGPA) are calculated at the end of each evaluation<br />
period to determine the student’s qualitative<br />
progress.<br />
�� For programs using letter grades, the Grade Point<br />
Average (GPA) is calculated at the end of each<br />
evaluation period by dividing the quality points<br />
earned by the total credits attempted for that<br />
evaluation period. The number of quality points<br />
awarded for each course is determined by multiplying<br />
the points listed for each letter grade by the<br />
number of credits of the course. The Cumulative<br />
Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated by<br />
dividing the total cumulative quality points earned<br />
by the total cumulative credits attempted for<br />
cumulative evaluation periods.<br />
�� For programs using percentage grades, the<br />
percentage equivalencies to letter grades are<br />
provided on the following page.<br />
STANDARDS OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC<br />
2011-2012 <strong>Everest</strong> <strong>University</strong>—<strong>Brandon</strong> Course Catalog 12<br />
PROGRESS (SAP)<br />
Students must maintain satisfactory academic<br />
progress in order to remain eligible as regularly<br />
enrolled students and to continue receiving federal<br />
financial assistance. The accreditor and federal<br />
regulations require that all students progress at<br />
a reasonable rate toward the completion of their<br />
academic program. Satisfactory Academic Progress is<br />
measured by:<br />
�� The student’s cumulative grade point average<br />
(CGPA)<br />
�� The student’s rate of progress toward completion<br />
(ROP)<br />
�� The maximum timeframe allowed to complete,<br />
which is 150% of total number of credits in the<br />
program of study (MTF).<br />
EVALUATION PERIODS FOR SAP<br />
Satisfactory Academic Progress is measured at the<br />
end of each academic term, which includes the 25%<br />
point, the midpoint, the end of each academic year,<br />
and the end of the program. Students in jeopardy of<br />
not making SAP may be advised at any point and be<br />
placed on probation to be monitored closely.<br />
NOTE: Satisfactory Academic Progress for fully online<br />
students is measured at the end of each academic<br />
term.<br />
CGPA EFFECT ON SAP<br />
At the end of each academic term, the student’s CGPA<br />
is reviewed to determine the student’s qualitative<br />
progress. Students must attain a minimum CGPA of<br />
1.0 at the end of the first 25% of the program and a 1.5<br />
CGPA at the midpoint of the program (A student<br />
pursuing a master’s degree must maintain a minimum<br />
cumulative grade point average of 3.0). For modular<br />
programs, students must pass each module of the<br />
program with the minimum required passing grade,<br />
which may be expressed as a percentage, as stated in<br />
the <strong>catalog</strong>.<br />
RATE OF PROGRESS TOWARD COMPLETION<br />
The school <strong>catalog</strong> contains a schedule designating<br />
the minimum percentage or amount of work that students<br />
must successfully complete at the end of each<br />
evaluation period to complete their educational program<br />
within the maximum timeframe (150%). Quantitative<br />
progress is determined by dividing the number of<br />
credit hours earned by the number of credit hours<br />
attempted. Credit hours attempted include completed<br />
hours, transfer credits, withdrawals, and repeated<br />
courses.<br />
MAXIMUM TIMEFRAME TO COMPLETE<br />
The maximum timeframe for completion of all<br />
programs below the master’s level is limited by federal<br />
regulation to 150% of the published length of the program.<br />
A student is not allowed to attempt more than<br />
1.5 times or 150% of the credit hours in the standard<br />
length of the program in order to complete the requirements<br />
for graduation.
