that official transcripts are sent from the issuing institution directly to the Registrar’s office from all

colleges and postsecondary schools previously attended (whether or not VA benefits were received at

those schools) before the second term of certification can be submitted to the VA. Any student

transferring from another institution who has had their benefits terminated will be placed on Warning

status the first term of enrollment in accordance with Pioneer Pacific College’s Veteran’s Academic

Policy. In addition, students must notify the Registrar’s office of any changes in degree objective or

enrollment status while enrolled at Pioneer Pacific College and should be aware that benefits will be

awarded only for classes that apply directly toward the declared degree objective.

All students receiving VA education benefits must maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA each term to meet the

school’s satisfactory academic standards. When a student has failed to maintain the school’s prescribed

standards of progress, VA must be informed promptly so that benefit payments can be discontinued in

accordance with the law.

Externships taking longer than one term to complete will require program director approval, but cannot

exceed two terms.

Satisfactory Progress

A student leave of absence does not affect the GPA or SCCP calculations.

Program Transfers and Additional Credentials

Students may transfer into different programs or obtain additional credentials as desired. GPA and SCCP

calculations will start over in the new program with the exception of those courses that transfer into the

new program. Classes transferred into the new program are subject to GPA and SCCP minimum

requirements as well as all classes that the student has successfully received Test-Out-Credit.

On page 60, please replace the paragraph with the following:

SATISFACTORY/UNSATISFACTORY OR CONTINUED PROGRESS Courses graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis or on a Medical Pass basis are not included in the
