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 requirement.
Criteria to be placed on Academic Probation
A student earns a semester grade point average of less than 2.0.
A student does not complete the co-curricular requirements.
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 check the student’s semester GPA to determine if the student is placed on academic probation.
- 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 1 week of the semester's end. Failure to meet with the assistant dean of student services within the stated time frame will result in dismissal from the program.
- Probationary status is resolved when the student achieves a cumulative GPA above 2.0, which must be achieved within the next two semesters enrolled or successfully completes the co-curricular requirement.
- 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 on a rotating basis.
Criteria for Program Dismissal
Any one of the following is grounds for dismissal from the program:
- A student does not achieve a cumulative GPA above 2.0 within the next two semesters enrolled or does not successfully complete co-curricular requirements.
- While on academic probation, withdrawal from any course after the Add/Drop Period will result in student dismissal from the program.
- If the academic probation is resolved, the student must maintain a semester GPA of at least 2.0, or the student will be dismissed.
