Satisfactory
Academic Progress
[Warning, Probation, Suspension, Dismissal, Reinstatement] |
| P-429.1 |
The
College shall measure academic progress for each term throughout
the student's enrollment. All students enrolled in credit
courses at the College are required to meet the established
standards for satisfactory academic progress. |
| Pr-429.1.1 |
The
standards for satisfactory academic progress shall be as
follows:
Credit
Hours On Record |
Cumulative
Grade Point Average |
12 |
1.5 |
13-24 |
1.6 |
25-36 |
1.7 |
37-48 |
1.9 |
48+ |
2.0 |
|
| Pr-429.1.2 |
Students
are placed on academic warning when their
cumulative grade point average falls below satisfactory
academic progress for the first time. The second time the
grade point average falls below satisfactory academic progress,
students are placed on academic probation.
After the third time, students are placed on academic
suspension and are required to discontinue enrollment
for the next semester. Upon return from suspension, failure
to maintain a 2.0 term grade point average in any given
semester will result in academic dismissal.
Students who have been academically dismissed may apply
to the Vice President for Student Services for consideration
of academic reinstatement. |
| Pr-429.1.3 |
Students
who have been placed on suspension may appeal to the Director
of Student Development to waive the semester layout requirement. |
| Pr-429.1.4 |
Students
placed on academic warning, probation, and suspension are
required to meet with a College counselor before enrolling
in the next semester and will be limited to 12 semester
hours for that semester. |
| Pr-429.1.5 |
Students
must wait for a minimum of one semester (summer session
excluded) after having been academically dismissed from
the College; submit a letter indicating the reasons why
they should be considered for reinstatement, and agree
to be interviewed by the Vice President.
Consideration
for reinstatement may be based on an evaluation of life
changes and circumstances that would merit reinstatement,
or an official transcript from another college or university
indicating that the student has been academically successful
since being dismissed from the College.
Academic
reinstatement does not include any forgiveness of grades
earned at the College. The student is reinstated with the
cumulative grade point average (GPA) the student had upon
dismissal. Enrollment is limited to 12 credit hours the
first semester; thereafter, semester limits may be waived
by the Vice President. Any student not maintaining a 2.0
GPA each semester of attendance will be dismissed from
the College. Academic reinstatement is available one time
only. |
| Pr-429.1.6 |
Students
receiving any form of financial assistance administered by
the College are expected to meet financial assistance standards
of academic progress as printed in the tuition chapter of
the College Catalog. |
