ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE - DISMISSAL/PROBATION.
Academic Policy 1.384 -1
Student academic performance is evaluated by the Scholastic Standing Committee. This evaluation is used to determine a
student's eligibility to continue at the College.
At the end of each semester, the records of all students will be reviewed. Students who fail to make satisfactory progress
will be dismissed from the College (see below). Any student whose GPA falls below 2.00 will be either placed on probation
or dismissed from the College. It is not necessary that a student be on probation before being dismissed.
The following cumulative GPAs are used to identify students who are subject to routine dismissal for academic reasons. A
student classified as an academic dismissal will be dropped from matriculated status.
GPA Hours Dismissal Below
Cumulative GPA of
0 - 18.5 1.30
19 - 30.5 1.50
31 - 40.5 1.80
41 - 48.5 2.00
49.0 or more 2.00
An academically dismissed student cannot transfer credits to the College until he/she applies for readmission and
regains matriculated status.
Note: Re-establishing Matriculated Status Following Academic Dismissal
The readmitted student will be required to achieve a term GPA of 2.0 at the end of the first semester following readmission
to avoid being dismissed. In succeeding semesters, the cut-off cumulative GPA (on the above chart) for all other students
will apply.
Academic Policy 1.384 -1. Policy revised 2017.
When the cumulative GPA falls below 2.00, a student loses good standing and will be placed under signed contract with
the academic advisor in the Academic Probation Program, which may include but not be limited to:
A. An academic load not to exceed 15 credit hours for students with a GPA of less than 2.00 and greater than 1.50.
B. An academic load not to exceed 12 credit hours for students with a GPA below 1.50.
C. Enrollment, when appropriate, in developmental/study skills courses, and/or workshops, and/or tutoring, in
consultation with the Resnick Academic Achievement Center.
D. Monthly meetings with an academic advisor.
E. A minimum of 90% class attendance in the following semester.
F. A scheduled meeting with the advisor to review grades and classroom attendance.
G. Attendance at academic group meetings as established by the academic department or division.
Students will remain in the Academic Probation Program, even if they change programs, until their cumulative GPA
reaches 2.00 or above at which time their good standing will be re-established. Students who fail to comply with contract
obligations may be subject to dismissal.
