2004-2005 COLLEGE CATALOG - Luzerne County Community ...

LCCC students who have not attended the College for a period of two years and
who apply for re-admission will have their transcripts evaluated and, upon readmission,
only those courses that the student passed with a “D’’ or higher grade
will be used to determine their grade-point average.
SUSPENSION/DISMISSAL POLICY
1. While on academic probation, students must maintain a 2.0 semester average
in each subsequent major semester following probationary status.
2. Students not meeting this minimum requirement will be suspended for the
next major semester. Upon re-admission and acceptance the student will be
required to maintain a minimum 2.0 semester average for each major
semester.
3. Students failing to meet the 2.0 major semester average after a suspension
will be academically dismissed.
4. Academic dismissal renders a student ineligible for re-admission for a period
of two years from the point of dismissal. At the time of readmission all F
grades will be deleted from G.P.A. calculations.
NOTE: Students may appeal their suspension status through the Office of the Academic
Vice President. If accepted the student will receive a hearing with
the Suspension/Appeals Board.
FINAL EXAMINATIONS
There is an end-of-semester examination for all students at the College. This can
take the form of a final examination, a unit examination, a term project, or a final
evaluation of projects, papers, or performances completed by students.
GRADE REPORTS
Grades will be mailed to students as soon as possible, usually within two weeks
following the final examination period. Grade information will not be released by
telephone. Grades may be withheld if all financial commitments to the College
have not been met.
ACADEMIC HONORS
Students will be eligible for academic honors at the conclusion of the Fall and
Spring Semesters according to the following criteria: A student will be recognized
for honors upon the completion of each segment of twelve credits to a maximum of
one hundred twenty (120) credits. A student must complete 75 percent of their attempted
credits with a grade of “C” or higher to be eligible for honors. A “W” or
“S” grade would not disqualify a student from achieving honors. A student earning
an Incomplete Grade will be recognized upon successful completion of the “I”
grade. Students will be recognized for honors accordingly:
