Academic Warning, Probation, and Dismissal - The College

A student’s academic performance is monitored to assure he/she is making satisfactory progress towards graduation. Students must meet the following criteria in order to be considered to be making satisfactory progress:

Total Number of Semester Credit Hours Attempted Cumulative GPA
0 – 23.99 1.60
24 – 53.99 1.80
54+ 2.00

Students who fall below the cumulative GPA criteria noted above or fail to earn 75% of the semester credits for which they have enrolled, will be placed on academic probation.

Students who meet the cumulative GPA criteria noted above, but whose session GPA is below a 2.00, will be placed on academic warning. Two consecutive semesters of academic warning will result in intensive advising requirements.

Students whose cumulative GPA falls below a 1.00 will be academically dismissed. Students who have been on probation and have failed to make the necessary improvements in their academic performance will be dismissed. Students may appeal dismissal decisions by petitioning the Dean of Instruction.
