Academic Standing


Academic Warning

A student is placed on academic warning at the end of any term that his/her cumulative grade point average (GPA) is less than a 2.0.

Academic Probation

A student is placed on academic probation if his/her cumulative GPA falls below a 2.0 for two successive terms.

Continued probation occurs when the student earns a minimum 2.0 term grade point average and the cumulative GPA remains below 2.0. The student is returned to good standing when the cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher.

The student placed on academic probation or a student on continued probation is restricted to enrolling in no more than thirteen semester hours fall or spring term and no more than six semester hours summer A or B term. It is recommended that the student meet with an academic advisor to develop success strategies.

Academic Suspension

A student on academic probation is placed on academic suspension when the term grade point average and the cumulative grade point average fall below 2.0.  A student placed on academic suspension is suspended for a minimum of one full semester and then must petition the college for readmissions. Please contact Enrollment Services for assistance.

A student returning from suspension who earns a semester GPA of 2.0 or above will not be suspended for that particular semester, even though they may not have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 This performance shows promise and, if continued, will result in good academic standing. Under these circumstances, such a student will continue on academic probation.

Academic Dismissal

Any student who is suspended a subsequent time will be dismissed from the college. Such a student is not eligible to be readmitted to the college for a minimum of one full calendar year. After the year, the student may petition the college for possible readmissions.

Students returning from dismissal who earns a semester GPA of 2.0 or above will not be suspended for that particular semester, even though they may not have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 This performance shows promise and, if continued, will result in good academic standing. Under these circumstances, such a student will continue on academic probation.
