Students placed on probation or suspension will be so notified by letter from the Registrar at the end of the semester.

Any student who has a cumulative grade point average of less than 2.00 shall be placed on academic probation. Students on probation status must be aware that a 2.00 GPA in their academic program is necessary for graduation. It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of their academic status and to raise their active grade point in their current program to the required 2.00 GPA necessary for graduation.

The following conditions must be adhered to by students placed on academic probation:

Students will be removed from academic probation and considered to be in good academic standing when their cumulative GPA reaches or exceeds 2.00.

Students enrolled in any semester on academic probation will be required to earn a minimum GPA of 2.00 for the probation semester to avoid academic suspension. Students who do not earn a 2.00 GPA or greater during their probation semester will be required to confer with the Dean of Academic and Student Affairs before registering for another semester. During this conference, the Dean and student, in consultation with the student’s academic adviser and major department chair, will determine that one of the following actions is required:

Subsequent suspensions could result in academic disqualification and the student may not continue enrollment. Disqualified students are not eligible for readmission until at least two terms have elapsed (two consecutive semesters or the summer session and either the following or preceding regular semester) since the end of the term in which they were disqualified. If readmitted, the student will be on academic probation and will be expected to satisfy the requirements for removal from probation by the end of the term.

Students have the right to appeal a decision made regarding their academic status as a result of their being placed on academic probation or suspension.

Academic progress is an important part of any student’s academic record. Academic forgiveness will ensure that a student is not penalized for coursework and grades earned in a different life stage.

A student who wishes to receive academic forgiveness must make the request in writing to the Registrar. The student must meet the following requirements:

The Registrar is responsible for reviewing the request and making appropriate changes to the academic transcript. All courses and grades are reflected on the transcript, but courses with grade of "D", "F", "WF" are excluded from the cumulative GPA. A student may request academic forgiveness only once.
