Academic Status: Dean’s List, Probation and Dismissal

Dean’s List

The Dean’s List includes all full-time undergraduate degree-seeking students enrolled in 12 or more graded credits who have attained a semester GPA of 3.50 or above in any one semester. Any student receiving an Incomplete grade for one or more courses within a semester will not be included in the Dean’s List calculation until the Incomplete grade is changed to the earned letter grade. Once the grade is changed, the student will be eligible for the Dean’s List so long as all other requirements for the semester are met.

Probation

All undergraduate degree-seeking students who fail to achieve the required semester GPA of 2.00 in any one semester, or who do not maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00, will be placed on academic probation for the following semester. Students placed on academic probation are required to develop an academic success plan with the help of the Director of Student Success. Undergraduate degree-seeking students who have two consecutive semesters with a term GPA below 2.00 or fail to achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or above will be considered by the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs for dismissal for scholastic deficiencies.

Dismissal

If any student, in the judgment of the administration, has an academic standing that is unsatisfactory or the student’s conduct or influence is not conducive to the best development of self or others, even though the student commits no specific act of insubordination, he/she may be dismissed, or asked to withdraw, as unfit for university responsibilities. In addition, undergraduate students receiving a term GPA below 2.00 for two consecutive semesters, a term GPA below 0.75, excessive failing grades, or a student who did not follow his/her academic success plan/probation conditions will be considered for dismissal from the university by the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs.

The Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs will determine if courses in progress on the effective date of dismissal shall be recorded with earned letter grades, failing grades, or as a withdrawal from the university.
