Satisfactory Progress Policy for Cohort students

This policy provides early identification and intervention for students of Concordia University who have difficulty maintaining satisfactory academic progress. In an effort to help all students achieve satisfactory academic standards and successfully progress through their chosen curriculum, the university will extend professional assistance.

Students are expected to meet satisfactory academic progress standards for each term.   Students not maintaining the specified standards will be required to meet with their advisors to assist in detecting and alleviating problems they may be experiencing. To be eligible to register continuously without conditions, a student must achieve satisfactory progress by maintaining a 2.00 Cumulative Grade Point Average and Accelerated Program Cohort Students taking 12 or more credits must complete at least 12 credits each term. (Students taking 9-11 credits will need to pass 9 credits and students taking 6-8 credits will need to pass 6 credits).   Incompletes (I) and withdrawals (W) do not count toward completion.

When a student does not maintain satisfactory progress, the university will impose certain restrictions that will affect the student’s eligibility for enrollment and financial aid.
