Attendance and Academic Progress Policy

POLY Languages Institute, Inc. (POLY) has minimum academic performance and attendance requirements. After the first two terms (8 weeks) of study at POLY, a student will be evaluated every term to see if the minimum requirements are met.

  • Attendance: The student is considered to be on probation for "poor attendance", if the student's cumulative attendance falls below 80%. Should the student's average attendance fall below 80% while on probation, the student may be suspended from the school for up to two terms. For an F-1 visa student, the student will be terminated from SEVIS for "poor attendance".
  • GPA (Grade Point Average): A minimum of 2.0 cumulative GPA must be maintained. Failure to maintain the minimum will put the student on academic probation. If the student's GPA for the term falls below 2.0 while on probation, the student may be suspended from the school for up to two terms. For an F-1 visa student, the student will be terminated from SEVIS for "poor academic performance".
  • Maximum Course Repeats:A student may repeat a course only once. However, the student may repeat twice for the course: R/W 101 & 102 and L/S 101 & 102 for true beginners - and R/W 601 & 602 and L/S 601 & 602 for refining their skills to be better prepared for higher education. The student must make normal progress towards completing the school's programs.
