The Office of the Registrar - Student Records Academic Objectives and Attendance Santa Fe College is responsible for providing its students with an engaging, learning-centered environment that includes educationally sound, high-quality programs offered in an economical and efficient format. The continuation of students who lack the ability, preparation, or maturity to succeed is inconsistent with the college's mission and its responsibility as a tax-supported institution. A student's standing at Santa Fe College will be determined by the relationship of hours attempted to grade points earned. To be considered in good standing and continue successfully toward a degree, a student must earn the grade points necessary to maintain a 2.0 (C) cumulative grade point average while at Santa Fe.
Math Sequence Policy All AA degree seeking students who are either registering for 12 or more credits or who have earned 12 or more credits must register for a math course each term until they have met their general education math requirements of 6 completed credit hours. Students automatically exempted from this policy include HSDE (high school dual enrollment) students, transient students, students registered for one or more EAP courses, and students under warning for SAP or SOAP standards. Other students may request a waiver after discussion with either their academic adviser or the math chair. The adviser or the chair will discuss the overall course plan with the student as well as the student's reason for asking for a waiver from the policy to determine the best course of action.
Academic Standards of Progress To maintain satisfactory academic progress, students must achieve a minimum term grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher each term. Academic Warning. Any student who does not achieve a GPA of 2.0 or higher in a term will be notified via the college's notification system and placed on academic warning. In cases where a student maintains an all college cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above, he or she will remain on academic warning if he or she continues to earn a term GPA of below a 2.0. Once a student has been placed on warning, they will be limited to 12 credit hours until they are placed back into good academic standing. Academic Probation. Any student who fails to achieve an all college cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher and a term GPA of 2.0 or higher for 2 consecutive terms will be notified via the college's notification system and placed on academic probation. Once a student has been placed on probation, they will be limited to 9 credit hours until they are placed back into good academic standing except that the student can take 12 credit hours as long as one of the courses is selected from the following list: SLS 1101, SLS 1301, SLS 1601 or SLS 1531. Academic Suspension. Any student on academic probation who earns less than a 2.0 for his or her all college cumulative GPA and less than a 2.0 term GPA will be notified via the college's notification system and placed on academic suspension for the following term of enrollment (Fall, Spring, or Summer). Readmission may be granted after the suspended term, and after the student meets with a counselor in the Counseling Center. If permitted to return to Santa Fe College, the student will remain in academic probationary status and must achieve a 2.0 GPA or higher for the term immediately following the suspension. Academic Dismissal. Any student who does not achieve a term GPA of 2.0 or higher during the term following academic suspension will be notified via the college's notification system and placed on academic dismissal from the College for one academic year (Fall, Spring, and Summer). Readmission may be granted after the dismissal period, and after the student has met with a counselor in the Counseling Center. Returning to Good Academic Standing.
