Student Standings
Students' progress according to the SAP Standards is measured at the end of every semester in order to determine eligibility for future semesters. Students can be in one of following SAP status categories:
Dean's List
To receive "Dean's List" recognition, a student must complete at least nine or more graded credits (excluding grades of P and S) in a given semester and achieve a GPA of 3.75 or higher for that semester. "Dean's List" recognition is given only for the Fall and Spring semesters.
Good Status
Students who are meeting all of the Standards of SAP and are not in a period of "Warning," "Suspension," or "Probation" are in "Good" standing and no additional enrollment, advising, or "Academic Plan" requirements are specified.
Warning Status
Students falling below the standards for the first time will be placed on "Warning" and will receive a letter and/or an e-mail (to The College of Idaho e-mail account). A student may continue to receive financial assistance during the "Warning" period. Students on "Warning" are encouraged to work with their advisor and to use the counseling, tutoring, testing, and other services available on campus to assist them with improving their academic standing. At the end of the next semester, progress will be reviewed and the student may:
- Be removed from "Warning" and placed in "Good" status if both the cumulative GPA and cumulative completion rate standards are met;
OR
- Be placed on "Suspension" and suspended from receiving financial assistance from federal, state, and institutional sources.
