Students not meeting the standards at the 50 percent and 100 percent
point (but above the requirements for the 25 percent point) will be placed
on probation. Those placed on probation at the 50 percent and 100 percent
point will have 20 percent of the total program length, as measured in
credit hours attempted, to achieve the requirements of the 50 percent
and 100 percent evaluation point as each applies. If 20 percent of the
program falls within a grading period, the student will be evaluated at the
end of that grading period. If the minimum standards for the 50 percent
or 100 percent evaluation point are not achieved by the end of the probation
period, the student will be academically dismissed.
Students placed on probation will be notified in writing and will receive
academic advising to assist them in grade improvement. Students on
probation remain eligible for Title IV federal financial aid.
If the Office of the Registrar determines that it is ultimately impossible
for a student to obtain the required 2.0 CGPA at the end of the maximum
time frame (1.5 times the normal program length), the student will be
academically dismissed and will not be permitted to reapply in the same
program. For students reentering in a different program, only courses
that apply to the new program will be calculated in the 1.5 maximum
time frame and the CGPA.
Students receiving veterans benefits will have a maximum of two grading
periods after falling below a 2.0 CGPA to obtain the required minimum
2.0 CGPA. Students failing to meet this requirement will be decertified
from the veterans benefits program. Students placed on probation will
be notified in writing and will receive academic advising to assist them
in grade improvement. Students on probation remain eligible for Title
IV federal financial aid.
