Academic Probation

A student whose academic progress is unsatisfactory, as determined by the student’s cumulative grade point average described earlier, will be placed on academic probation and will be notified by Student Services. The student will be required to have a conference with his\her advisor and counselor to review academic progress and to remove the probationary status.

A student who has been on academic probation for more than one semester may be required to reduce his/her course load until probationary status is removed.

A student who has been on academic probation for a total of two semesters will be subject to suspension. However, students are not generally suspended from the College for unsatisfactory progress but rather may be required to reduce their course load or repeat courses on which they have received “F’s”. They may choose another program of study or register for development or special programmed studies to strengthen their educational background and increase the likelihood of making satisfactory progress. As a last resort, a student may be suspended for consistent failure to show active initiative toward fulfillment of his/her chosen educational goal.

Students receiving financial aid should refer to the Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid section.
