Academic Good Standing

Students are considered to be in academic good standing if they maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher.

Academic Warning

The first time a student earns a semester grade point average of less than 2.0 and also has a cumulative grade point average of less than 2.0, he/she will be placed on academic warning. To be removed from academic warning, a student must earn a semester grade point average of 2.0 or higher during the next semester of attendance. A student who does not achieve a semester grade point average of 2.0 or higher while on academic warning will be placed on academic probation. A student will return to academic good standing once their cumulative grade point average is 2.0 or higher.

Academic Probation

A student previously placed on academic warning who earns a semester grade point average of less than 2.0 will be placed on academic probation. Students remain on academic probation until they earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better.

Academic Suspension

A student on academic probation whose semester and cumulative grade point averages are less than 2.0 will be placed on academic suspension. To return, the student must complete the Application for Admission.

First Suspension

The student will be required to sit out for one semester. To gain re-entry to the college, he/she must complete a new Application for Admission form, available on the website or at any Student Affairs office. It is recommended that the student register for and complete COLL 1500 (College Success course) during his/her first semester back.

The student is required to earn a semester grade point average of 2.0 or higher in order to continue the next semester on academic probation until he/she has obtained a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher in order to achieve good academic standing.

Second Suspension

The student will not be allowed to re-admit until he/she has been out for at least two semesters. He/she must complete a new Application for Admission form, available on the website or at any Student Affairs office. After being out for at least two semesters, it is recommended that the student register for and complete COLL 1500 (College Success course) during his/her first semester back.

The student is required to earn a semester grade point average of 2.0 or higher in order to continue the next semester on academic probation until he/she has obtained a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher in order to achieve good academic standing.

Third Suspension

A student who has been academically suspended for a third time will be considered for readmission after an absence of one calendar year from the end of the semester in which the third suspension occurred. After sitting out one year, the student must submit a new Application for Admission.

The student is required to earn a semester grade point average of 2.0 or higher in order to continue the next semester on academic probation until he/she has obtained a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher in order to achieve good academic standing.
