Academic Warning
A student is placed on academic warning at the end of any semester that his/her cumulative or semester GPA is less than a 2.0. Students who are in jeopardy of academic warning or probation may lose eligibility for financial aid (see Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Purposes). While these are two different processes, poor academic performance may affect both academic standing and financial aid standing.
Academic Probation
A student is placed on academic probation if his/her cumulative GPA or CF GPA falls below a 2.0 for two successive semesters, or has two successive semesters with a semester GPA below 2.0.
Probation will continue if the student’s cumulative or CF GPA remains below a 2.0 GPA, but the semester GPA is above a 2.0 or improved from the previous semester. The student is returned to good standing when the semester GPA, cumulative GPA and CF GPA are all 2.0 or higher.
A student placed on academic probation is restricted to enrolling in no more than 13 semester hours as outlined below:
| Fall (A/B/C combined) |
13 |
|
| Spring (A/B/C combined) |
13 |
|
| Summer A |
6 |
|
| Summer B |
6 |
|
| Summer C |
13 |
|
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 semester grade point average and the cumulative GPA or CF GPA 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 readmission. 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.
