ACADEMIC STANDARDS POLICY
The Academic Standards Policy of Skyline College and the San Mateo County Community College District is based on a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 ("C"), the minimum standard required for graduation or transfer. A grade point average of less than 2.0 is considered deficient. Grade point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of letter graded (GPA) units.

Academic standing, including determination of probation or dismissal status, is based upon all course work completed at Cañada College, College of San Mateo, and Skyline College. In addition to the following academic standards, special program eligibility requirements for financial aid, athletics, Veteran's Educational Benefits, etc., may differ. Students should consult with their specific program coordinators for applicable program eligibility requirements.
