ACADEMIC PROBATION
A student remains in good academic standing by maintaining a minimum of a 2.0 grade point average. Beyond that:
- Any student with less than a 2.0 GPA will be placed on probation or warning or suspension status.
- Any student who does not complete 50 percent or more of his/her courses in a semester may be placed on “Progress Probation.”
- Financial aid academic progress standards require completion of 67 percent of courses attempted.
Students placed on academic probation will be required carry a reduced course load. Students may appeal their status in writing to the Dean of Learning and Student Development. Although the student will ordinarily have one increment of 12 credits to raise her/his grade point average to a 2.0, this guideline may be waived if the dean or her/his designee determines the student is making substantial progress toward reaching a 2.0 GPA.
Failure to meet the stated terms of the probation will result in suspension. Ordinarily, the student must wait at least one year before applying for re-instatement, subject to the approval of the Dean of Learning and Student Development or such persons as (s)he may designate.
Standards of academic progress will be monitored at the end of the fall and spring semesters and probation and academic dismissal letters will be sent before the beginning of the next semester.
