Academic Evaluation-Academic Standards of The College

All policies on academic standards apply to students who enroll in credit courses at Northeastern: full-time, part-time, regular degree/certificate-seeking, or special status. All students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (C) and fulfill all course requirements to graduate and receive a degree or certificate.

Students not maintaining the required grade point average may be warned or suspended based on their academic status. Academic progress to maintain financial aid requires a minimum number of credits and grade point average.

Faculty Authority 

Professional, qualified faculty are hired to facilitate learning by teaching each course and making preliminary, ongoing, and final evaluations of each student's progress.

The instructor is the final authority on each student's learning progress and the assignment of final grades for each course. Each faculty member is committed to teaching the course content, making individual and ongoing learning evaluations of each student, and assigning a final letter grade based upon these evaluations. A Department Chair or Director supervises each member of the faculty.
