ACADEMIC PROBATION

   Academic Probation is a means of alerting students who are in academic jeopardy that they must

show academic improvement in order to remain matriculated in their current program of study. Any student

placed on probation must receive a GPA of at least 2.0 during the next semester or risk academic

dismissal. Dismissed students may appeal to the Vice President/Academic Dean. Probationary status is

removed once students earn grades of good standing. Students are placed on academic probation if their

cumulative grade point average falls into one of the following ranges:

        No probationary status assigned for 1-5 credit hours;

        GPA of .50 to 1.50 for 6 to 11 attempted credit hours;

        GPA of 1.51 to 1.74 for 12 to 23 attempted credit hours;

        GPA of 1.75 to 1.90 for 24 to 35 attempted credit hours; or

        GPA of 1.91 to 1.99 for 36 or more attempted credit hours.

   Students placed on probation will receive written notification of their probationary status. In addition,

the student’s permanent record will carry the words “Academic Probation”.
