ACADEMIC STANDING<br />

GOOD STANDING<br />

A <strong>student</strong> is considered to be "in good standing" if he maintains a minimum grade point<br />

average of 2.0 each semester, is eligible to re‐enroll at JTCC, and is not on academic suspension<br />

or dismissal status. A <strong>student</strong> on academic warning or academic probation, who is eligible to reenroll,<br />

may be considered eligible to receive financial aid assistance or other benefits requiring<br />

a "good" academic standing status.<br />

ACADEMIC WARNING<br />

A <strong>student</strong> who fails to attain a minimum grade point average of 2.0 for any semester, will<br />

receive an "Academic Warning" which will be printed on his grade report.<br />

ACADEMIC PROBATION<br />

A <strong>student</strong> who has attempted at least 12 semester credit hours and who fails to maintain a<br />

cumulative grade point average of 1.5 will be on "Academic Probation" until such time as the<br />

cumulative average is 1.5 or better. A <strong>student</strong> on probation will not be eligible for elective<br />

office in <strong>student</strong> organizations and may be required to carry less than a normal course load the<br />

following semester. A <strong>student</strong> on academic probation is required to consult with a counselor.<br />

ACADEMIC SUSPENSION<br />

A <strong>student</strong> on academic probation who has attempted at least 24 semester credit hours and<br />

who fails to attain a grade point average of 1.5 in a subsequent semester will be subject to<br />

"Academic Suspension." The statement "Academic Suspension" will be placed on the <strong>student</strong>'s<br />

permanent record. Academic suspension will be for one semester. After serving this<br />

suspension, a <strong>student</strong> may enroll as a "restricted <strong>student</strong>." A suspended <strong>student</strong> who wishes to<br />

seek readmission without serving a one‐semester suspension must petition in writing the<br />

Academic Status Committee requesting an exception and noting why such an exception should<br />

be made. Normally, such requests are not granted except in highly unusual circumstances, and<br />

only then if the <strong>student</strong> is seeking admission in a different academic program.<br />

ACADEMIC DISMISSAL<br />

A <strong>student</strong> who has been placed on academic suspension must achieve a 2.0 grade point<br />

average for the semester following readmission, and must maintain at least a 1.5 grade point<br />

average in each subsequent semester or attendance. Failure to do so will result in academic<br />

dismissal. The statement "Academic Dismissal" will be placed on the <strong>student</strong>'s permanent<br />

record. A <strong>student</strong> who has been suspended and who has attained the requirement for<br />

continued enrollment will be placed on academic probation until the cumulative grade point<br />

average is raised to a minimum of 1.5. Academic dismissal normally is permanent unless, with<br />

good cause, a <strong>student</strong> reapplies and is accepted under special consideration for readmission by<br />

the Academic Status Committee. A <strong>student</strong> who has been dismissed and who seeks readmission<br />

must petition in writing the Academic Status Committee at least four weeks prior to the<br />

semester in which readmission is sought.<br />
