Academic probation allows students to resolve barriers to success and improve academic skills and program knowledge.
A student must attain a minimum grade of C (74) in any course required for the major and/or a passing grade for the co-curriculum requirements.
Criteria to be placed on Academic Probation
- A student earns a grade of C- or lower in a course in any given semester or
- A student does not complete co-curricular requirements for that semester
Procedure
- The course instructor will email the assistant dean of student services if a student achieves a C- or lower grade or does not complete the co-curriculum requirement.
- The assistant dean of student services will collaborate with the student, the program dean, the academic advisor, and the registrar.
- A student who meets the criteria for academic probation must set up a meeting with the assistant dean of student services within one week of the semester's end. Failure to meet with the assistant dean of student services within the stated time frame will result in program dismissal.
- Probationary status is resolved upon successful completion (grade C or higher) of the repeated course or successful completion of co-curricular requirements.
- A student may be placed on Academic Probation once during the program.
- The student’s program may extend beyond the published program length since most courses are taught only once yearly.
- A student placed on academic probation must make a non-refundable deposit to reserve a spot to continue in the enrolled program. Students cannot reserve a spot if the program has no available spaces. The deposit will be required for any student on probation who does not have continuous enrollment.
- Spring Return: Deposit Date September 1st

The assistant dean of student services or designee may adjust the student's deposit date depending on when the student is unsuccessful and looking to continue with courses. Once the deposit date is set, there are no adjustments to the due date. Students who do not meet the deposit deadline are dismissed from the program.
