Satisfactory Academic Progress
All students are expected to make satisfactory academic progress in order to successfully meet the academic requirements for completion and to remain enrolled. Progress checks will be reviewed at regular intervals throughout the student's program. Belt Exams are used to assess a student's academic progress during the program. In order to successfully complete a program, a student must get an 8.0 (or 80%) or higher on each Belt Examination.
