Academic standards are designed to inform students of their academic progress toward program completion.

Good Standing

Students are in good standing with the College unless they meet the College probation or dismissal criteria outlined below. At the program level, students who fail to meet the program-specific requirements may be dismissed from the program but remain in good standing with the College unless they meet College probation or dismissal criteria outlined below.

Academic Probation

Academic probation results when a student’s semester GPA falls below 2.0. A student placed on academic probation is expected to make an appointment with a member of the Academic Support Center to discuss their academic progress. The student should make this appointment as soon as possible following the notification of being placed on academic probation.

Academic Dismissal

Academic dismissal from the College and loss of matriculation results from any of the following:

  1. Falling below the cumulative grade point average indicated for dismissal on the chart below.

  2. Failing 67% or more courses in a single semester.

  3. Showing withdrawal (W or WF) from more than one-half of courses attempted in two consecutive semesters.

  4. Being placed on academic probation for two consecutive semesters.

  5. An academic misconduct offense

Dismissed students may not re-apply to the College for readmission for a period of one (1) calendar year.
