ACADEMIC PROGRESS
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Satisfactory progress is measured by grade point average. The minimum acceptable grade
point average at the end of the first year is 1.500. At the end of the sophomore year it is
1.800. At the end of the junior year and thereafter it is 2.000. Students are also expected
to make consistent progress towards a degree.
Academic Probation
A student will be placed on academic probation for any one of the following reasons:
(1) Failure to earn above a 1.000 grade point average in any regular term.
(2) Failure to meet the academic year grade point requirement for the Birmingham-
Southern College average and cumulative average. The minimum acceptable grade point
average at the end of the first year is 1.500. At the end of the sophomore year it is 1.800.
At the end of the junior year and thereafter it is 2.000.
(3) Failure to satisfy the Provost of the College that satisfactory progress is being made
toward a degree.
During the probationary period, a student may not hold any student office, participate in
intercollegiate athletics, or make any public appearances as a representative of the
College. Student-athletes should consult with the athletics compliance officer for specific
guidelines concerning participation in athletics while on academic probation.
A student remains on academic probation until successfully completing at least three fullunit
courses or the equivalent during a regular term, or two full-unit courses during a
summer term, and must satisfy the Provost that there is consistent progress toward a
degree by meeting the academic year grade point average requirements.
