Academic Probation

A student whose academic progress is unsatisfactory, based on the student's cumulative grade point average, will be placed on academic probation and will be notified by the vice president of student services. The student is required to meet with a counselor soon after being placed on probation to review his or her progress and to obtain help in planning ways to improve academic progress in order to remove the probationary status as soon as possible.

While on academic probation, the student is required to meet with the department chair or designated probation advisor for his or her program of study for assistance in the completion and review of the appropriate registration forms prior to each semester. The expanded advisement process is designed to assist students in meeting educational objectives through a careful review of course selections and class loads.

Probationary status is removed by attaining the minimum cumulative grade point average required for satisfactory progress, as defined in Academic Progress.

A student on academic probation is not permitted to participate in certain types of extracurricular activities, such as holding an executive office in the Student Government Association. Students on probation are not entitled to officially represent the College, the Student Government Association, or a student club or organization at meetings, conferences, and conventions.
