Academic Standing and Sanctions

Subpages

Academic Standing Gustavus Adolphus College’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) criteria help ensure that students complete their requirements to graduate in a timely manner. In order to receive a bachelor’s degree students must complete 128 credits and attain a minimum 2.0 cumulative grade point average.

In the academic standing categories that follow:

  1. Year-in-residence (YIR) is determined by how many years a student has been registered at Gustavus. A student coming directly from high school is a year-in-residence first-year regardless of number of credits. Likewise, a transfer student from another college is, in their first-year at Gustavus, a year-in-residence first-year student.

  2. Completion rate includes all credits attempted. Both withdrawals and incompletes count as part of the total number of credits attempted and count as non-completed credits (in the case of an incomplete grade, until the incomplete is replaced by the new grade).
