What happens if my cumulative grade point average (GPA) falls below 2.0?
At the end of a semester, the College conducts an academic progress review of all students’ records based on their cumulative GPAs. Students who have cumulative GPAs below 2.0 fall under “academic progress review.” This review is essentially the College’s way of insuring that students meet our minimum academic standards and make timely progress toward degree completion (e.g., graduate within four years). Even though students might see their grades on Banner within a week of the end of the semester, students are not notified that they are under academic review until two weeks after the end of the semester (during this time, all faculty submit grades and the registrar’s office must officially rectify thousands of records). The academic progress review notices are sent to students via e-mail (Plattsburgh e-mail account) and in hardcopy to home addresses. These notices include guidelines about the process to submit written appeals of the academic review. The Academic Progress Committee (AP

The Academic Progress Committee (APC) reviews appeals and determines whether to allow a student to return on academic probation or to academically dismiss the student from the College. All details about the academic review process, submitting appeals, deadlines, decisions, etc. are included in the notice students receive.
