The College

Depending on the original reason for the probationary status, probation may be removed as follows:

• The student may enroll in no more than 16 semester credit hours for the semester following his/her being placed on probation and must improve his/her cumulative GPA to meet the standard appropriate to the student’s total semester credit hours earned. (A student on probation should consult with his/her advisor to formulate the best strategy for removing probation.)
• The student must earn no less than 75 percent of the semester credit hours for which he/she enrolled for two consecutive semesters.

A student who has been suspended for academic reasons may submit a petition for reinstatement to the Office of the

Registrar for submission to The College academic council after one semester has passed. A petition for reinstatement should include the following:

• A critical and thorough appraisal of the factors that were decisive in the student’s academic performance.
• A presentation of evidence that the student is capable of successful college-level academic performance.
• A detailed plan indicating how the student intends to pursue his/her academic career in such a way as to avoid the situation that caused the original suspension.
• Failure to remove probation in the time allotted may result in academic suspension from the University.
