Welcome to the College Catalog
Students in academic good standing maintain a minimum 2.00 cumulative grade point average.
Academic probation means that a student is in danger of being dismissed from the College for academic reasons. Students who fall into the following categories are placed on academic probation:
three courses – or a maximum of 13 or 14 credits – in any semester in which the probation exists. The summer maximum should be two courses or eight credits.
At any time, the College – upon recommendation of the Academic Standing Committee – may dismiss a student who is experiencing academic difficulty. A student should be aware that all cases are decided individually and that poor
academic performance may result in dismissal at the end of any semester.
A student who is in academic difficulty (below 2.00 cumulative grade point average) may be requested by the Academic Standing Committee – in consult-ation with the student – to enroll in a special or particular set of courses and to become involved in testing, counseling or other developmental activities. A student’s satisfactory performance in such assignments may be interpreted by the Academic Standing Committee as satisfactory progress and may make it unnecessary to recommend dismissal.
Academic Departments reserve the right to counsel any student out of a major or minor for academically related reasons. A student has the right to appeal such Department action to the Provost, who will direct warranted appeals to the Academic Standing Committee.
