Academic Probation

A student’s academic standing is reviewed at the end of each semester. Students whose cumulative GPA falls below 2.00 are subject to dismissal from the college, based upon the following guidelines.

Academic Probation

Students are placed on academic probation if their cumulative GPA falls below 2.00 with a minimum of 18 index credits. Students placed on academic probation will receive a letter from the Center for Academic Advisement and Student Success (CAASS) informing them of their academic standing and notifying them of the necessary steps they must take in order to remove themselves from academic probation. They will be invited and strongly encouraged to meet individually with a CAASS adviser.

Students placed on academic probation may remain on probation for three successive semesters (including the semester in which they are originally placed on probation). During probation, students must maintain satisfactory academic progress to restore their cumulative GPA to 2.00, which includes earning a GPA of at least 2.00 each semester while on probation.

Failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress during the probationary period will result in dismissal. Students who have been placed on academic probation and who make satisfactory progress will continue to maintain their academic standing with the college and their concurrent eligibility for financial aid.
