To be academically eligible to graduate from a program at St. Clair College a student must pass all required courses and achieve a 2.00 grade point average in the courses related to that program. In cases of sub-standard performance, students will receive one of the following standings: academic warning, academic probation, or academic dismissal.

A student on academic warning or probation may be required to successfully complete failed courses before proceeding in the program.

Academic Standing: Good: A student will receive academic good standing at the end of a semester when the student has successfully completed all courses and maintained a Career Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.00 or greater.

Academic Standing: Warning: A student will receive an academic warning at the end of a semester if 1% to 15% of the career credit hours within a term have been failed. Academic Standing: Probation: A student will be placed on academic probation at the end of a semester when the Career semester GPA falls below 2.00 or if 16 to 32% of the Career credit hours have been failed.

Academic Standing: Dismissal: Academic dismissal may be imposed if: three or more courses are failed; fails 33% or more of the Career credit hours; has a Career Grade Point Average less than 2.00 for two consecutive semesters; fails the same course twice; is on probation following re-admission to a Career and fails to achieve a semester GPA of 2.00 by the next evaluation period.

When appealing a course THE STUDENT SHALL:

1. Appeal the grade to the course professor in writing and attempt to reach a resolution within (10) ten College business days of the posting of the final grade. If no resolution go to #2.
   
2. Appeal the final grade by filing an Official Grade Appeal Application (with supporting documents) with the Registrar's Office within five (5) College business days following the completion of #1 above.

Appeals will be heard within ten (10) College business days of the receipt of the request. A $25.00 fee per course must accompany the application. This fee will be refunded if the review is upheld.

Currency Rule
Students who take longer than seven years from the date of first enrollment to complete a program must have their transcript evaluated for relevance to current program requirements, and may be required to make up additional courses.

This rule does not apply to programs for which the curriculum is prescribed by agencies other than the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, in which case there is no assurance that a published curriculum will apply beyond the term for which it is announced.

Clinical/Field placements are a required part of many of our programs. In most cases in order to participate in these placements students are required to obtain a police clearance through a College designated agency and at the student’s own expense. The College assumes no obligation for ensuring clinical/field placement or program completion for students who are unable to provide a satisfactory police record check. Please contact the co-ordinator listed for the program you are interested in, to find out which forms are required for your program.
