Satisfactory Academic Progress

To remain a student at North Country Community College, a student must maintain a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) that varies depending upon the number of credits a student has attempted and the number of credits earned. When a student meets these minimum requirments, he or she is making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Failure to make SAP may lead to dismissal from NCCC.
