A period is 50 minutes or a minimum of 80 hours of on-the-job training with college supervision. • 1 lecture credit equals 1 period with 2 hours of outside preparation. • 1 laboratory or activity credit equals 2 to 4 periods and necessary outside preparation. • 1 music studio credit equals 30 minutes of applied instruction plus three hours of practice per week. An equivalent amount of work is expected for internships, practicums, studio work, clinicals, independent study, compressed courses, and other academic work leading to the award of academic credit. Academic Standing Students are considered in good standing if they attend Casper College for one or more semestersand earn a 2.0 or higher grade point average for that semester or for their cumulative average. The registrar notifies students who are not making satisfactory academic progress. Students maybe placed on academic probation when: • The student does not meet the minimum qualifications for admission or • The student does not meet the minimum grade standard to be considered in good standing The college removes students from academic probation who attain a semester grade point average that meets or exceeds the minimum requirements to be considered in good standing. Students who fail to achieve good standing after one semester on academic probation are subject to academic suspension. The college issues an academic suspension when a student fails to achieve good standing after one semester on academic probation or for academic dishonesty. Students on academic suspension may not register for academic courses for at least one semester unless they receive an approved petition for an exception. Financial aid probation and suspensions are issued in accordance with the rules and regulations governing the form of aid received and are determined separately from academic probation and suspension. Corrective measures come in the following forms: 1. Current semester problems. Students having trouble with a course may withdraw from the course or the college (see Schedule Changes), audit the course (see Auditing Courses), or request an incomplete or in progress (see Incomplete and In Progress) . All timelines must be met to make any changes. 2. Academic standing. Academic standing is based on either semester grade point average or cumulative grade point average (see Academic Standing), thus allowing redemption in one semester regardless of past record and avoiding a penalty for one below-par semester in an otherwise satisfactory record. 3. Academic Forgiveness. Degree-seeking students currently attending Casper College may petition the registrar to remove up to two semesters, in their entirety, from the calculation of the student's cumulative grade point average (GPA) and degree credits. The registrar will approve a petition for students who have completed 24-semester credits of collegelevel courses with a 2.5 GPA after the last semester listed on the forgiveness petition.
