These progression standards in no way affect a student's eligibility to continue attendance at Truckee Meadows Community College without veterans' benefits. If the student feels that because of extenuating circumstances they have not been able to meet their progression standards, they may request a hearing before the Student Policies and Appeals Board. Requests to appear before the appeals board should be made to the Acting Associate Dean of Strategic Enrollment Management.
Satisfactory progress is defined below.
Grade Point Average-Students must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00. A veteran who receives a W grade will therefore be given a credit load reduction and may be required to pay back a portion of their veterans' benefits received for that semester. Students who are receiving veterans' benefits and whose cumulative grade point average is less than 2.00 will be placed on veterans' benefits probation for the following semester of enrollment. The student will be released from probation when their cumulative grade point average equals 2.00 or above. Failure to obtain the minimum 2.00 grade point average during the probationary semester will result in suspension of veterans' benefits.
