Academic Discipline

Any student whose semester GPA (for Fall or Spring semesters only) falls below 2.0 will automatically be placed on academic probation by the Registrar. Academic probation is not intended to be a penalty but rather an opportunity for the College to give additional help to those students who need it. Those on academic probation must meet with the Vice President of Student Affairs to arrange for support services and register for courses. At the Vice President of Student Affairs’ discretion, the student may be required to limit his or her course load, meet with designated faculty, staff, or support personnel and/or enroll in remedial programs or courses. The Vice President of Student Affairs may also require mid-semester reports from the student's faculty instructors.

Students will be removed from academic probation as soon as their GPA for the latest semester (Fall or Spring) rises above 2.0. Students who fail to raise their GPA above 2.0 after two consecutive semesters (Fall or Spring) on probation may be required, at the discretion of the Vice President of Student Affairs, to sit out a semester or take courses only on an audit (non-credit) basis.
