Length of Programs
The academic year consists of 15-week terms (semesters) during the fall and spring, and 5-week terms during winter (intersession) and summer (summer I and II). Programs of degree-based education generally start in the fall term and run 22 months in length (four terms totaling 60 weeks) except those which may require summer internships or practicums. Total credit hours and schedule of program may vary by department, including summer term or spring term starts.
The Building and Property Maintenance Technology, Diesel Preventative Maintenance Technology, Industrial Technology, Welding Technology, and Cybersecurity Analytics & Operations certificate programs are 9 months in length.
Student Academic Course Load
A student is considered full-time when registered for a minimum of 12 credits for the fall or spring term. A student is considered part-time when registered for fewer than 12 credits for the fall or spring term. A full-time student typically carries 12 to 20 credits in both the fall and spring terms. An academic overload occurs when a student attempts to register for more than 20 credits in a term. Students who wish to register for more than 20 credits must have the permission of the Director of Academics. Students who are granted permission for an academic overload are subject to additional tuition charges.
Credit Hours
The U.S. Department of Education, in 34 CFR Section 600.2, defines “credit hour” as: “…an amount of work represented in intended learning outcomes and verified by evidence of student achievement that is an institutionally established equivalency that reasonably approximates not less than:
(1) one hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work each week for approximately fifteen weeks for one semester (term) or trimester hour of credit, or ten to twelve weeks for one quarter hour of credit, or the equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time; or,
(2) at least an equivalent amount of work as required in paragraph (1) of this definition for other academic activities as established by the institution, including laboratory work, internships, practica, studio work, and other academic work leading to the award of credit hours.”
The Pennsylvania regulation states, in part, “A semester (term) credit hour represents a unit of curricular material that normally can be taught in a minimum of 14 hours of classroom instruction, plus appropriate outside preparation or the equivalent as determined by the faculty. A quarter credit hour represents a unit of curricular material that normally can be taught in a minimum of 10 hours of classroom instruction, plus appropriate outside preparation or the equivalent as determined by the faculty.” 22 Pa. Code Section 31.21(b).
Each course is assigned a credit-hour value based upon the required weekly hours spent in the classroom, laboratory, or program area, along with the appropriate number of additional outside work hours needed to support the course’s instructional content.
At Johnson College, students must complete forty-five (45) clock hours of work to receive 1 credit. One (1) clock hour is equivalent to a scheduled 50 minute period.
- One credit = 45 clock hours
- Two credits = 90 clock hours
- Three credits = 135 clock hours
- Four credits = 180 clock hours
The typical distribution of clock hours is one-third instruction and two-thirds outside preparation, however the distribution between instructional time and outside work may vary from course to course. Examples of this distribution are shown below.
15 clock hours of lecture + 30 clock hours of additional outside work = 1 credit
30 clock hours of lab +15 clock hours of additional outside work = 1 credit
45 clock hours of internship = 1 credit
Clinical hours = See programmatic handbook
Grading System
Course achievement level, grade point average (GPA), and career grade point average (CGPA) are provided on transcripts using the following system:
| Letter Grade | Numerical Relationship | Quality Points |
| A | 96-100 | 4.0 |
| A- | 92-95 | 3.67 |
| B+ | 88-91 | 3.33 |
| B | 84-87 | 3.0 |
| B- | 80-83 | 2.67 |
| C+ | 76-79 | 2.33 |
| C | 72-75 | 2.0 |
| C- | 68-71 | 1.67 |
| D+ | 64-67 | 1.33 |
| D | 60-63 | 1.0 |
| F | 0-59 | 0.0 |
| I* | Incomplete | |
| P | Pass | |
| W | Withdrawl | |
| F | Fail | |
| SA** | Stopped Attending | |
| R | Repeat | |
| NA | Never Attended | |
| SR | Stop Attend Repeat |
* A grade of “I” (Incomplete) will be awarded only in exceptional circumstances. An “I” grade must be resolved by the end of the add/drop period of the following fall/spring term. If not resolved, the “I” grade will be converted to an “F”.
**A grade of “SA” (Stopped Attending) will be assigned when a student does not attend a course for 2 consecutive academic calendar weeks. An “SA” is calculated into the term GPA and career GPA in the same manner as an “F”.
A student’s career Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated using the following formula:
| Cumulative GPA (CGPA) = | total quality points earned total credit hours attempted |
Repeated Courses
Students who receive an “SA,” “F,” or “W” in a course must retake and pass the course if it is required for graduation. The original grade will remain on the transcript, along with a repeat designation. The higher grade earned will count towards the student’s term and career GPA. A course may be repeated up to two times, allowing for a total of three attempts.
Students who receive an “SA”, “F”, or “W” in a course may choose to take the course at another institution and transfer the credit to Johnson College. In this event, the original grade will remain. Transfer credit is not used in the calculation of a student’s career GPA. Please refer to the Approval for Off-Campus Study transfer information in the Office of the Registrar section of this catalog for more information.
Students who receive an “SA,” “F,” or “W” in either the lecture or lab component of corequisite courses may be required to audit the component they previously passed.
Attendance Policy
(In-person and online)
Johnson College follows federal regulations that require verification of class attendance for all students receiving federal financial aid or veterans’ benefits. To remain eligible for these benefits, students must attend the classes for which aid is awarded. Financial aid may be reduced or canceled based on attendance records.
The following policy applies to all students enrolled in credit-bearing courses:
- Students are expected to attend and participate in all scheduled classes, whether delivered in-person or online.
- For in-person courses, students must be physically present during scheduled instruction.
- For online courses, students are considered “in attendance” if they complete at least one graded activity per week (e.g., quiz, discussion post, or assignment submission).
A student who is reported to have never attended class within the posted add/drop period will be administratively removed from the course and the course deleted from their transcript.
After the add/drop period, a student who is confirmed to have stopped attending class may be administratively removed from the course and assigned a grade of “SA” (Stopped Attending). A student is considered to have stopped attending class when they have two consecutive weeks of absences. The course instructor will initiate the Stop Attend process by submitting a Stop Attend form through the Student Portal. Students at risk of being assigned an “SA” grade will be notified by their academic advisor via their Johnson College email. Students may return to the course, but will be automatically assigned an “SA” for a second occurrence of two consecutive weeks of absences.
| class meets | 3 times/ week | 2 times/ week | once/ week | online |
| consecutive absences that initiate the Stop Attend process | 6 | 4 | 2 | 2 weeks |
An “SA” grade is equivalent to a failing grade. Courses for which an “SA” is assigned must be retaken to fulfill degree requirements.
Students with extenuating circumstances—such as military service, bereavement, extended illness, participation in school functions, or jury duty—should contact their instructors immediately to discuss their situation. Students are responsible for understanding and complying with this policy to maintain their academic standing and financial aid eligibility.
Class Cancellation
Instructors are expected to hold all classes at their scheduled days and times and to use the full class period, except in rare or exceptional situations. If the instructor has not arrived within the first 15 minutes of the scheduled start time, the class will be considered canceled.
Weather / Emergency Notifications
In the event that in-person classes are delayed or canceled due to inclement weather or other emergencies, notifications will be shared through multiple channels. Students, faculty, and staff can receive alerts via text message by signing up for the Johnson College Campus Alert System:
- Visit www.johnson.edu/campus-alerts,
- Or text “essential” to 79516 for Scranton Campus Alerts,
- Or text “wework” to 79516 for Hazleton Campus Alerts.
In addition to text alerts, weather and emergency updates will be posted on the Johnson College website (www.johnson.edu) and shared on the college’s official social media platforms. It is also recommended to monitor local television stations for announcements.
Faculty may require regularly scheduled in-person class meetings and coursework to be completed online when in-person classes are canceled. Students should communicate with faculty in order to ensure course requirements are completed.
In the event there are multiple cancellations of in-person classes during a term, the academic calendar may need to be adjusted to add instructional days.
Online classes will not be canceled due to inclement weather. All online coursework will retain their deadlines regardless of weather conditions.
If a technological emergency results in the Desire2Learn server being down, students will be notified through an announcement on the College’s website (www.johnson.edu). Students may sign up for text and/or email notifications at https://www.johnson.edu/campus-alerts/ . Please note, Desire2Learn is not housed on the Johnson College campus; emergencies on campus will have little to no effect on distance education courses.
Make-up Work
When students are absent or are unable to complete coursework on schedule, they may be permitted to make up lost time and/or missed work in their academic and/or major courses. It is the responsibility of the student to request consideration for make-up work from the instructor.
Late Assignment Policy
Without prior arrangement, late assignments will be accepted with the following conditions:
a. The final grade of the assignment will be reduced by 10% (e.g.- 10 points out of 100) for each calendar day the assignment is submitted late.
b. Late work will not be accepted more than 4 days after the due date and will receive a score of 0.
| On Time | 1 Day Late | 2 Days Late | 3 Days Late | 4 Days Late | ≥ 5 Days Late | |
| Maximum Score | 100% | 90% | 80% | 70% | 60% | 0% |
ACADEMIC STANDING
Academic standing refers to a student’s overall academic performance, as evaluated by the College. It is used to determine whether a student is making satisfactory progress toward the completion of a degree or certificate program. Academic standing at Johnson College is determined by a student’s term grade point average (GPA) and career (overall) grade point average (CGPA). The Office of Academics and the Office of the Registrar review term GPA and career GPA for all students at the conclusion of each Fall and Spring term to assign academic standing.
Good Academic Standing
A student is considered to be in good academic standing when both their term GPA and career GPA are 2.0 or higher.
Academic Probation
A student whose term GPA or career GPA is less than 2.0 is placed on academic probation for the following term. Students on academic probation are allowed to continue their current enrollment. However, they are required to complete a self-assessment and work with their academic advisor to develop an academic improvement plan. In addition, a hold is placed on the student’s account, preventing them from registering for future terms.
At the conclusion of the term on academic probation, the Chief Academic Officer will review the student’s academic performance.
- If the student’s term GPA and career GPA are both 2.0 or higher, the student will return to good academic standing.
- If the student’s term GPA increases to 2.0 or higher, but the career GPA remains less than 2.0, the student will continue on academic probation for the next term.
- If the student’s term GPA and career GPA both remain less than 2.0, the student will be academically dismissed from Johnson College.
Students who are academically dismissed will be notified through their Johnson College email and by a letter sent to the mailing address on file with the College. Students who wish to appeal their academic dismissal must complete and submit the Academic Dismissal Appeal Form, available on the Student Portal. Appeals must be submitted within two weeks of the dismissal email notification date.
*Health Science programs (PTA, RAD, & VEN) have separate requirements for maintaining good academic standing within each program. These requirements can be found in each program’s handbook.
Academic standing can affect financial aid eligibility. Students on academic probation are encouraged to contact the Financial Aid Office for more information.
Academic Integrity
The faculty and administration of Johnson College have high regard for the integrity of the educational process; therefore, the College wishes to recognize students not only for their academic skills and dedication but also according to a code of ethical academic behavior.
Ethical academic behavior includes, but is not limited to:
- Acting at all times with honesty, integrity, and being trustworthy
- Accepting responsibility for one’s work
- Identifying contributing members of a group, where group work is authorized
- Citing references, where reference use is required
- Submitting work that is the sole creation of the student
- Never contributing to the academic dishonesty of others
Academic dishonesty refers to the commission of, or contribution to, dishonest acts by those engaged in teaching, learning, research, or related academic activities. Academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to:
- Cheating – When a student attempts to gain an advantage or get academic credit in a way that is dishonest, disrespectful, irresponsible, untrustworthy, or unfair. Includes copying from another student’s work, unapproved collaboration or group work to complete coursework, taking an exam for another student or asking another student to take an exam for you, or using an answer key to complete coursework.
- Plagiarism – This occurs when you use another person’s words, ideas, assertions, data, or figures without acknowledgment of their work. Includes copying and pasting directly from sources (webpages, Wikipedia, blog posts, journal articles or textbooks, Chat GPT, or other artificial intelligence tools), quoting a source without appropriate citation, or not paraphrasing and/or citing a source properly.
- Submitting work that does not cite contributing members of the group when working in courses where group work is required
- Sharing of digital work (flash drives, Google Docs, etc.)
- Facilitating acts of academic dishonesty by others
- Tampering with the academic work of others
Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including but not limited to text generators, image creators, and code assistants, must align with the principles of academic integrity at Johnson College. Faculty have the authority to establish specific guidelines regarding the appropriate use of AI in their courses. These parameters may vary by assignment, assessment, or instructional activity.
The unauthorized or unapproved use of AI tools—particularly in situations where independent work is expected—may be considered a violation of academic integrity and subject to disciplinary action as outlined in this policy. Students are expected to seek clarification from their instructors when the appropriate use of AI tools is unclear.
Students are responsible for understanding what constitutes academic dishonesty and are encouraged to ask instructors if they are unsure whether a particular action violates this policy. Instructors who suspect academic dishonesty will report the incident to the Office of Academics.
Violations of the Academic Integrity Policy may result in one or more of the following consequences:
- First Offense: The student will receive a grade of “F” on the assignment in question.
- Second Offense: The student will receive an automatic failing grade (“F”) for the course.
- Third Offense: Referral to the Office of Academics. Disciplinary actions may include dismissal from Johnson College.
Academic Integrity violations are cumulative and tracked throughout the student’s academic career at Johnson College.
Academic Integrity Violation Appeal Process
Students who have been found in violation of the Academic Integrity Policy have the right to appeal the decision or the resulting disciplinary action. The appeal process ensures fairness and provides an opportunity for the student to present additional information or clarify misunderstandings.
- Notification
The student will be notified via their Johnson College email of the alleged violation, the evidence, and the consequences or disciplinary action. This notice will come from the instructor and/or the Director of Academics. - Submit an Appeal

Academic Dismissal
Johnson College makes every effort to assist students in achieving their academic goals; however, the College reserves the right to dismiss students due to poor academic performance or violation of the academic code of conduct. An inability to meet the minimum career GPA requirement for two consecutive terms may result in dismissal from the College.
In such cases, the Office of Academics will notify students of their dismissal via:
- Letter of dismissal from the Chief Academic Officer sent to the address on file with the College
- Email sent to the student’s Johnson College email address
Dismissed students are responsible for all outstanding financial obligations to the College.

The Physical Therapist Assistant, Radiologic Technology, and Veterinary Nursing programs have specific grade point average (GPA) requirements for their major courses. Specific dismissal policies for Physical Therapist Assistant, Radiologic Technology, and Veterinary Nursing students can be found in their respective Programmatic Handbooks.
Student Grievance Policy
Johnson College strives to address and resolve student concerns fairly and promptly. A grievance is defined as a perceived injustice in which a student believes they were treated unfairly, discriminated against, or in a way that violates College policies, procedures, or applicable laws by an employee of the College.
Grievances may be related to either academic or non-academic matters and can involve faculty, staff, administrators, departments, or programs.
- Academic Grievance: The student believes they were treated unfairly within the context of a course.
- Non-Academic Grievance: The student believes they were treated unfairly outside of the classroom, in a way that violates College rules, policies, procedures, or laws.
The College maintains both an informal complaint process and a formal grievance process. Students are encouraged to follow these procedures in a timely manner.
