Academic Standards of Progress

Lake Michigan College is committed to helping students meet their educational goals. When students are not making acceptable academic progress, the College will provide positive intervention strategies designed to help students evaluate their individual situation and return to satisfactory academic standing. Intervention strategies are detailed in Academic Intervention. Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average above the ranges detailed below to be considered in good standing.

Students will have their cumulative GPA calculated at the end of each semester (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer) and, if it falls within the range as indicated in the table below, they will be placed on academic probation and will be notified in writing by Student Services.

Credit hours attempted GPA Range
6 - 15 1.00 to 1.50
16 - 30 1.25 to 1.75
31 or more 1.5 to 1.99

Students placed on academic probation will be required to meet with an advisor to review their progress. If a student has pre-registered, it will be necessary to gain the advisor's approval to remain in the classes for which he or she has pre-enrolled. Students whose cumulative GPA falls below the ranges indicated above will be required to follow a prescriptive plan developed by the designated advisor.

Note: Students on Financial Aid, participating in intercollegiate athletics, and/or enrolled in Health Science programs and/or other programs with specific criteria different from this standard will be required to meet the academic standards of progress for those programs as outlined in the College catalog and in program-specific student handbooks.
