Student Progress (Academic)

The Student Progress Policy (Policy 311) says that students are expected to make satisfactory academic progress while enrolled at Seattle Colleges. Satisfactory progress means that students are passing and completing their coursework and educational programs. Each college has developed procedures that explain how the Student Progress Policy will be applied at their campus. Copies of these procedures and other information for students are available online at each college website.
