Academic Warning
A student
whose academic performance is at or near the above state
minimum may receive a warning letter. The letter is
intended to make the student aware of the necessity for
increased effort in order to reach or maintain acceptable
garde levels for continued matriculation.
Academic Probation
A student whose cumulative index is near or below the
minimum requirement may be dismissed, or may, in special
cases, be placed on probation.
A student on academic probation is restricted to 15 credits (or less) and cannot play a role in any class, club, organization, or sports activity on campus during that semester. See the Student Handbook for further elaboration.
Academic Suspension
A
student whose cumulative index drops below 2.0 at the end
of the junior year or during senior year will not be
permitted to continue matriculation until this minimum
index has been reached. The student will be carried
as a part-time student (can only register for 9 or fewer
credits per semester) until this deficiency is made up
during subsequent sessions.
Dismissal
Students are
subject to academic dismissal when they:
- Do not maintain the above minimum indices
- Do not successfully complete one half of the attempted credits in any year
- Earn an index of 1.0 or lower in any semester
Dismissal Appeals
A student
may appeal a dismissal decision. The appeal must be
made to the Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA)
(or his/her designee) within ten business days from the
date on the dismissal notification letter.
(Dismissal letters are sent to the student via certified
mail). The appeal will be made in writing, and
include detailed information regarding the basis for the
appeal. The Vice-President for Academic Affairs
will notify the student in writing of the appeal decision
within three days of the receipt of the written
appeal. The decision of the Vice-President is
final.
