A student “in good academic standing” is eligible to matriculate and may register
for academic course work for the term in question. Students whose academic performance
falls below the standards normally required by the College may either be placed on
probation or dismissal by the Registrar. Probation is a status assigned to those students
showing reasonable promise of improving their performance. Students are dismissed
when they fail to demonstrate the ability and interest required for successful completion
of a given program (as indicated below). Dismissal will reduce a student’s academic
courseload to part time status.
Academic probation, which may include constraints upon a student’s activities, is
intended as an educational device to encourage greater effort on the part of students
who appear to be having difficulty in meeting certain academic standards. Placement
on academic probation may include denial of the right to register for academic course
work unless certain conditions are met. Full‑time students on academic probation will
be given a credit restriction of 14 credits max.
Any student may appeal to the dean, or assistant dean of student services, who may
extend special consideration to those students whose circumstances or academic records
indicate that such consideration is warranted.
