- Maintain specified minimum grade point average of 2.0 or higher (a “C” average).
- Successfully complete a minimum of 12 credits in one semester.

Federal requirements for satisfactory academic progress
If you are receiving federal financial aid (including grants, scholarships, work study, and/or loans), federal law requires that you maintain satisfactory academic progress.
Federal requirements for satisfactory academic progress might differ from Chapman’s policies on academic standing as outlined above.
