PACE (Progression Requirements)

The student must be progressing toward graduation requirements by completing the courses for which they enroll each semester. This is referred to as “pace”. Courses or classes are measured in credit hours. Students must complete at least 67 percent of all credits attempted. For example, a sophomore who has attempted 60 credit hours and has satisfactorily completed 48 of those credit hours would have completed 80 percent of attempted credits.

Credits attempted are all course credit hours for which the student is enrolled as of the semester census date, which is the 12th day of class in a semester for regular fall and spring and 4th class day for regular summer sessions (for terms shorter in length please check for census date), whether they have received a grade yet or not. Once grades are assigned, attempted credits include grades of A, B, C, D, F, P, NP, S, U, CR, NC, IP, I, DR, or W. Grades of DROPPED are counted as hours attempted if the student is enrolled in the class and charged for it as of the semester census date. Credits satisfactorily completed are classes for which the student receives a grade of A, B, C, D, P, S, CR or P. Remedial courses are not included in the calculation of pace.
