Veterans’ Standard Progress
Veterans’ Standard Progress
All students using VA education benefits will be required to maintain satisfactory
academic progress (SAP) requirements to continue to receive VA education benefits.
To meet SAP, students must maintain a minimum cumulative, term GPA of 2.0, and complete
100% of enrolled courses each term, as well as meet the 67% overall completion rate.
Failure to do so will result in the student being placed on warning. While on warning,
the student may continue to receive VA education benefits without restrictions; however,
the student must maintain a 2.0 term GPA and complete 100% of all courses attempted.
Failure to meet the SAP requirements while on warning will result in suspension of
the VA education benefits. Students may appeal their suspension status by completing
the veteran SAP appeal form. The appeal should be submitted to the SCO no later than
two weeks before the beginning of the semester and will be reviewed by an appeals
committee. Upon approval, the student will be placed on probation and will be required
to meet with an advisor periodically during the semester. Should the appeals committee
deny the appeal request, students may continue to take classes at GBC at their own
expense. Once they obtain a 2.0 cumulative GPA with the same credit load or greater
from their previous term, they will again qualify for VA education benefits.
