Section One: Academic Regulations

Standards of Academic Progress

XI. STANDARDS OF ACADEMIC PROGRESS

A student is expected to achieve success during any academic term in which he/she is enrolled at the College. A student who is not making satisfactory academic progress is subject to academic action.

A. Academic Probation

A student who does not make satisfactory academic progress according to the standards stated below, as determined by the total credit hours attempted and cumulative GPA earned, will be placed on academic probation. A notation of academic probation will be posted to a student's electronic academic record for any fall/spring term in which the cumulative GPA falls below the standards. A student who is placed on academic probation is required to meet with a member of the counseling staff to review grades and educational goals and may be subjected to a restricted course load.

A student will continue on probation as long as his/her cumulative GPA remains below the standards stated above. To be removed from academic probation, a student must achieve the minimum cumulative GPA relative to the total credit hours attempted. A student placed on academic probation, who is not making satisfactory academic progress according to the academic standards stated above, will be notified in writing that continued poor performance will result in academic suspension.

B. Academic Suspension

A student who is placed on academic probation for any three (3) fall or spring terms, will be academically suspended from the College for one (1) calendar year. The suspension shall begin following the end of the fall or spring term in which the student was suspended. In addition, the notation of academic suspension will be posted to the student's transcript.

An academically suspended student may submit an appeal in writing to be re-admitted, citing extenuating circumstances. See Readmission Policy, XII.

A student who has been academically suspended will be eligible to return to the College according to the following schedule:

A student who is academically suspended a second time will separate from the College for a period of three (3) calendar years. Any student suspended more than two (2) times must seek approval for readmission from the Dean of Student Affairs.
