Pace

Neumont specifies the pace at which a student must progress through their educational program to ensure that all students will complete the program within the maximum time frame. Neumont calculates the pace at which the student is progressing by dividing the cumulative number of credit hours the student has successfully completed by the cumulative number of credit hours the student has attempted. A student must complete all the requirements for graduation without exceeding 150% of the required quarter credit hours for the program in which they are enrolled; this limitation is known as maximum time frame.

Bachelor's degree students may attempt a maximum of 270 credits (150% of 180 credits). Associate degree students may attempt a maximum of 135 credits. (For illustrative purposes: If a student had attempted 84 credits and earned 76 credits, their pace would equal 90.4%.) Thus, in addition to the cGPA requirements, a student must successfully complete a certain percentage of the credits attempted. The pace requirements per quarter are noted in the SAP tables.
