What is Probation and Dismissal?
At the end of every term (fall, spring, summer) students’ academic records are evaluated for purposes of probation and dismissal decisions. Students are placed on academic probation if their overall grade point average drops below 2.00. For purposes of determining dismissal of part-time students, 12 accumulated credits is considered to be one semester. After being placed on probation for one semester, students are eligible for dismissal if their overall grade point average falls 8 or more quality points below 2.00. A student on probation for the second successive semester who has a deficiency of eight or fewer quality points below a 2.00 average will continue on probation. At the end of the third semester of probation, a student will be dismissed. Students who obtain less than a 1.00 average in their first semester will be dismissed automatically. Students are also eligible for dismissal if they remain on probation for three consecutive semesters regardless of their quality point defic
