Academic Progress

Bridgerland Technical College provides “hands-on” training in a simulated work environment and expects performance in school that leads to success in the workforce. The college has established clock hours in which a student is expected to spend participating in class or other instructional activity in order to complete a program. Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress toward the successful completion of their stated technical goal by progressing at a rate that will allow the student to complete the program within 1.5 times (time and a half) the enrolled hours of the program.

Students must maintain academic progress standards as determined by their program of enrollment or as defined by federal financial aid eligibility requirements. Sponsors, scholarships, and veteran benefits may also influence a student’s academic progress requirement. Students enrolled in programs whose standards exceed school policy, or students receiving financial support dictating certain standards - must adhere to the higher standard.

For more information regarding the colleges academic progress requirement, see policy 600.616 Academic Rights and Responsibilities. Program specific criteria may be outlined on our program pages found here. Students receiving federal student aid must meet standards that are at least as strict as those outlined by the school. See Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy, 700.703, for more information.
