Academic Standing

Trinity’s academic standing and degree progress policies are designed to encourage all students to graduate on time and achieve academic success.

The standards for good academic standing are:

1. a minimum cumulative GPA appropriate to semester since matriculation (see chart below);
2. adequate progress towards degree completion as defined by the minimum number of credits accumulated since matriculation (see chart below);
3. full-time enrollment (defined as attempting 4 or more course credits), unless authorized to drop below by an approved accommodation request or petition for reduced course load. Full-time enrollment is reviewed – and standing adjusted accordingly – following the end of Add/Drop in the fall and spring semesters.

Students who meet the three standards are considered to be in good academic standing, a designation indicating that the student has no current academic difficulties.
