Evaluation Points:
SAP is monitored after the completion of each scheduled ten week term of training known as evaluation points. To be making satisfactory academic progress and complete the program within the maximum time frame, a student must have completed/earned the specified credit hours and maintained the CGPA standard at each evaluation point as outlined in the charts below:

*** Medical Billing and Coding Students that attend evening classes are scheduled to carry less than a full time load. Therefore, academic progress in both the day and evening program is measured in credits earned as a percentage of credits attempted. A student must earn the credits specified to maintain satisfactory academic progress. A student requesting to transfer from day to evening or evening to day must meet the standard for credits specified and the minimum CGPA to maintain satisfactory progress and meet graduation requirements within the maximum time frame for credits attempted (24) on either schedule.
