Standards of
Academic Progress

ACADEMIC WARNING

A student who does not earn a minimum of a 2.00 GPA (grade point average) for the term will be placed on academic warning for the next term of attendance. The student will meet with a member of the counseling staff and his/her academic advisor in order to determine the course of action needed to improve the student’s academic performance. Possible courses of action are a reduction in course load, procurement of tutorial services, developmental studies and/or withdrawal from extracurricular activities.

Any student who is on academic warning and changes programs will remain on warning during the first term of his or her new program.

Students enrolled in Health Science curricula will have more stringent requirements for standards of progress. The department head will advise students accordingly.

ACADEMIC PROBATION

A student on academic warning who does not earn a minimum of a 2.0 term GPA (grade point average) upon completion of the warning term will be placed on academic probation for his or her next term of attendance.

Any student who is on academic probation and changes programs will remain on probation during the first term of his or her new program. A failure to earn a 2.0 term GPA during a probationary term will result in suspension at the end of that term.

Students enrolled in Health Science curricula will have more stringent requirements for standards of progress. The department head will advise students accordingly.

ACADEMIC SUSPENSION

The purpose of academic suspension is to remove from their programs of study those students who would not ultimately meet requirements for graduation if they continue at their current level of progress.

Any student who fails to earn a minimum of a 2.0 term GPA (grade point average) during the probationary term will be placed on academic suspension from the College by the Registrar. The student does have the option of enrolling in the Learning Success Center for the designated suspension term. The student should contact the Counseling Center if he or she wishes to exercise this option.
