| Academic Standing |
| Academic standing is based upon the students’
cumulative grade point average (CGPA). The academic standing is recorded
on the transcript for the fall and spring semesters. Summer session
is not recorded, but the summer session grade point average (GPA)
is used in calculating academic standing |
| The academic standing designations are:
good standing, probation, suspension and second suspension. |
Good Standing: A student is in good academic standing
when his/her
cumulative grade point average (GPA) is 2.0 or above. |
Probation: A student is placed on probation if his
or her CGPA falls below
a 2.0. (Summer session GPA is not computed in the probation and suspension
status.) The maximum course load for students on Academic Probation
is six credits. Probationary students may take nine credits with the
recommendation of their advisor and the approval of the Dean of Instruction.
Students on academic probation may enroll in only one course for the
summer session. |
Suspension: A student is placed on suspension if while
on probation
he or she fails to maintain a CGPA of at least 2.0 (Summer session
GPA is not computed in the probation and suspension status.) This
is equivalent to two consecutive probationary semesters. |
A student may return after the end of the suspension
period and will be
classified as a returning student. During this return semester the
student must earn a semester GPA of at least 2.0. |
The semester following a suspension the student may
enroll for a
maximum of six (6) credits. Students may take nine (9) credits with
the recommendation of their advisor and the approval of the Dean of
Instruction. Students on suspension may enroll in only one course
for the summer session. |
Second Suspension: A student is placed on second suspension
if he/she
fails to earn at least a 2.0 semester GPA during the semester following
the first probation. |
The duration of the second suspension is for two
consecutive semesters.
(Summer session is not included.) A student may return after the
end of the suspension period, and will be classified as a returning
student. During this semester the student must earn a semester GPA
of at least 2.0.
|
The semester following a second suspension, the student
may enroll for a
maximum of six credits. Students may take nine credits with the recommendation
of their academic advisor and the approval of the Dean of Instruction.
Students on second suspension may enroll in only one course for the
summer session |
