What is academic probation?

Students must maintain a certain minimum Grade Point Average based on the number of credits earned. Students will be placed on Grade Point Average Probation at the end of the Spring semester if their cumulative GPA falls below that minimum. Students who fail to meet the terms of GPA probation will be dismissed at the end of the Spring semester. Dismissal from the College is permanent unless a written reinstatement appeal, made to the Committee on Academic Standing of one of the College's three schools, is successful.

Students must maintain a certain minimum Grade Point Average based on the number of credits earned:

  • 0-12 credits - 1.50 cumulative GPA
  • 13-24 credits - 1.75 cumulative GPA
  • 25 credits or more - 2.00 cumulative GPA
Students will be placed on Grade Point Average Probation at the end of the Spring semester if their cumulative GPA falls below the minimum indicated above. Students on probation must earn a GPA of 2.01 or higher for the next academic year (Fall and Spring semesters) in order to remain enrolled in the College. If not in attendance for both Fall and Spring semesters, students who re-enter the College on probation must meet the terms of probation for the term they were in attendance. Students who fail to meet the terms of GPA probation will be dismissed at the end of the Spring semester. Dismissal from the College is permanent unless a written reinstatement appeal, made to the Committee on Academic Standing of one of the College's three schools, is successful.

Students on probation are urged to take advantage of the tutoring services offered by the Student Academic Consulting Center

What do I do if I am academically dismissed?

Students who fail to meet the terms of GPA probation will be dismissed at the end of the Spring semester. Dismissal from the College is permanent unless a written reinstatement appeal, made to the Committee on Academic Standing of one of the College's three schools, is successful.

The deadline for submitting appeals for reinstatement to the Committee on Academic Standing in the appropriate school is November 1 for the Spring semester and April 1 for the Fall semester. Students must also file a reentry application with the Registrar's Office.
