Probation

All students receiving VA educational benefits must maintain satisfactory progress toward their diplomas/degrees. (See RCC Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy and Procedure in current college catalog.) If progress is unsatisfactory, the law requires the college to report this to the VA.  According to the RCC SAP policy, students receiving VA benefits may have one semester on probation to bring their standing above probation status. If these requirements are not met, their VA benefits will be terminated. VA students are eligible to complete an RCC SAP appeal, they must receive academic counseling and they must show that the cause of unsatisfactory performance has been removed before enrollment will be re-certified for benefits.
