Academic Standing Policy
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 for diploma & certificate programs in the courses related to that program. For degree programs, a student must pass all required courses and achieve a 2.50-grade point average. 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 (for degree programs, a GPA of 2.50 must be maintained).
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 has 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 2.50 for degree programs) or if 16 to 32% of the Career credit hours have been failed.

Clinical/Field Placements
Clinical/Field placements are a required part of many of our programs. Also, 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 refer to this webpage for pertinent information.
