Academic Probation

Students will be placed on Academic Probation when the semester GPA falls below 2.0 for two (2) consecutive semesters.

Students placed on Academic Probation will be required to:

1. Meet with an academic advisor to develop an improvement plan
2. Submit to the Academic Standards Committee and the Office of Academic Affairs a letter (signed by both the student and the student's academic advisor) detailing the student's academic difficulties and the improvement strategy.
3. Register for no more than 13 credits.
4. Earn a minimum semester GPA of 2.0 EACH semester until the student's cumulative GPA is at or above 2.0. Until the cumulative GPA is above 2.0, the student is considered to be on Academic Warning, with the understanding that if the student's cumulative GPA is below 2.0 for two semesters after the probationary semester, the student will receive an Academic Dismissal. 
5. Athletes who are on Academic Probation are not allowed to compete.
6. Students on Academic Probation are strongly urged to consult with the College's Financial Aid office regarding any potential impact probationary status may have on financial aid eligibility.
