Academic Progress Policy Winter 2012 Overview
This overview provides details about the Expected Academic Progress (EAP) policy implemented for undergraduate students in Winter 2012. It covers what EAP is, how it's calculated, and who can view the EAP gauge on Poly Profile. The article explains the EAP calculations, the EAP gauge in Poly Profile, and mentions which students will and will not see the gauge. It also specifies the exceptions to viewing the EAP gauge based on students' academic status.

EAP-What is it? Expected Academic Progress, or EAP, is a policy that was implemented in the Fall 2010 quarter for undergraduate students. It is designed to help students graduate on time and to provide them with the support they need along the way. EAP looks at how many degree applicable units a student has completed compared to where they should be in their academic career Winter 2012
EAP calculations EAP is calculated by dividing the total number of degree applicable units completed and in-progress by the total number of units required for the major. Freshmen 1st year 20% 2nd year 45% 3rd year 75% 4th year 100% Transfer 1st year 55% 2nd year 80% 3rd year 100% Winter 2012
EAP gauge in Poly Profile The EAP gauge is now available to view on Poly Profile The gauge resembles a speedometer and indicates what percentage of degree applicable units a student has completed, compared to how many they are expected to have completed Winter 2012
Who will and will not see the gauge EAP started with students accepted into an undergraduate major as of Fall 2010 Certain exceptions apply, such as students who have been accepted into a blended program (4+1) and kinesiology students with a concentration (following the 2009-2011 catalog) Students with double majors will not see a gauge this quarter, but it will displaying the progress towards their primary degree starting with Spring 2012 Winter 2012
Students that are in a graduate program; have graduated with their undergraduate degree; or are currently in a status of discontinued, leave of absence, or dismissed will also not see a gauge If a student doesn t have a gauge, the following message will appear in their Poly Profile: Winter 2012
Gauge On Track The EAP tells a student whether they are ON TRACK or OFF TRACK in their degree progress ON TRACK means they have met or exceeded the number of units required towards their degree at the point in time that the gauge was last updated Winter 2012
Gauge Off Track OFF TRACK means they are below the expectations for their degree progress Winter 2012
Location in Poly Profile The gauge is located in the Poly Profile in the Academic Progress section Winter 2012
How often is it updated? The Poly Profile gauge is updated every quarter after the last add/drop date (census) and before registration begins for the subsequent term, and at the end of Spring Quarter The gauge will represent units that have been completed and that are in progress for the current quarter If a student does not complete/pass all the units for that quarter after the gauge has been updated, it will be reflected when the EAP is recalculate in the following quarter Winter 2012
Timeline The Poly Profile gauge now appears for students that meet the criteria for EAP (i.e. admitted after Fall 2010, etc) The gauge displays the data as of Winter 2012 census The next update will occur around mid-April Winter 2012
Summary EAP measures how many degree applicable units a student has completed compared to how many units they are expected to have completed The gauge shows a student whether they are on- track or off-track for their major, concentration, etc. EAP will appear in Poly Profile for undergraduate majors that were accepted after Fall 2010 (with the exception of some groups of students) Winter 2012
