The measure of a student’s overall academic performance at the college shall be a grade point average (GPA) based on a 4.0 scale. The computation of GPA includes only those courses completed at CVCC numbered 100 or higher and for which a grade of A, B, C, D, F, or WF is received. (See also Repeat Policy).
The cumulative GPA must be 2.000 or higher for the student to continue full participation in the CCP Program. If this required GPA is not maintained, the Administrator or Facilitator will communicate this information with (1) the student’s high school administrator/designee via email, and (2) to the student via the secure CVCC-issued email account.
Student academic progress is monitored each semester and is recorded on the CCP Verification Form. This information is provided and verified by the student’s high school administrator or designee and communicated to the CCP Administrator and/or Facilitator through the C CP Verification Form. The high school also provides a current high school transcript for each student.
High School Academic Progress: A CCP student who is not making adequate progress toward high school graduation (credit completion/promotion standards) will not be able to continue in the CCP Program at CVCC. This academic progress is directly related to the student’s high school graduation plan.
The student, in collaboration with the parent/guardian and the high school, can then choose one of the following options: (1) the student does not continue in the CCP Program OR (2) the student, with the high school’s approval, may repeat one previously taken course with an earned “D” or “F,” pending seat availability, in an attempt to improve the college GPA.
CVCC will attempt to graduate the student by our approved program of study first. If the student does not meet CVCC’s approved program of study, Student Records will seek approval from the appropriate Dean to consider graduation by the approved state standard.
