New Standards for Satisfactory Academic
Progress
As of January 2006, beginning with the end of the Fall 2005 semester, there are new rules governing students’ academic standing, whether they are part-time or full-time.
Students may have any of the following as their academic standing (online.comment.edu description appears, not the code).
INB Banner Code
| (00) | Good academic standing |
| (LW) | Written warning |
| (LX) | Progress probation |
| (LN) | Written warning and progress probation |
| (LP) | GPA Probation |
| (LY) | GPA Probation and progress probation |
| (LS) | GPA Suspension |
| (LZ) | GPA and progress suspension |
What do these categories mean?
- Good academic standing:
- These students are eligible to register, have no restrictions on the amount of credits they pursue, have GPAs of 2.0 or higher, and have completed more than half of the credits which they have attempted during their entire time of attendance.
- Written warning:
- These students have attempted fewer than 12 credits during their time of attendance at the College. They have achieved a GPA of less than 1.5. These students are in the early stages of academic jeopardy and may very well be the College’s newest students.
- Progress Probation:
- Students in this category have completed less than 50% of the credits they have attempted. This category tracks students’ performance for the semester and their total academic history. For example, a re-admitted student could do very well GPA-wise in the first semester of his/her return to the College and be categorized as being on “progress probation” due to past performance. Progress probation does not result in suspension. It is meant to be advisory. (However, it is important to note that students receiving financial aid can be severely affected by failing to meet the financial aid satisfactory academic progress rules that consider attempted vs. completed courses. Remember the financial aid policy and the college SAP policies are separate criteria.)
- Written Warning and Progress Probation:
- These students are those who have a GPA below 1.5 and have not completed 50% of the credits they attempted. This category is also advisory, but it requires vigilance and attention by the students and the advisor.
- GPA Probation:
- Students in this category have attained a GPA below 2.0. The actual GPA score that places students on GPA Probation is dependent upon the number of credits completed since the GPA required ascends with the number of credits completed. GPA Probation requires serious, pro-active steps be taken. If students fall into this category for a second semester, they will be suspended.
- GPA and Progress Probation:
- Students in this category have not completed 50% of what they attempted, and have not achieved a GPA of 2.0 or higher. Students in this category require the same high level of proactive intervention as those showing “GPA Probation.”
- GPA Suspension:
- Students in this category have not achieved the appropriate GPA status for two semesters and will be dismissed from the College for one year.
- GPA and Progress Suspension:
- These students have not completed 50% of the credits for which they enrolled and have not achieved the necessary GPA and were on probation during the prior semester. They, too, are dismissed from the College.
Essentially, there are two major categories of academic jeopardy: progress probation and GPA Probation/Suspension. Progress probation refers to the number of courses completed vs. attempted. GPA Probation/Suspension refers to a student’s cumulative GPA performance.
