Academic Probation
Traditional undergraduate students with a cumulative grade point average below 2.00 at the end of any semester will be placed on academic probation and limited to 15 credits.
Students on academic probation who have between the following GPA and 2.00 may participate in only one co-curricular activity at any one time. Students below these minimum GPAs may not participate in any co-curricular activities.
Minimum GPAs for Bachelor’s degree students:
Freshman (up to 29 hours) = 1.70 GPA
Sophomore (30-59 hours) = 1.80 GPA
Junior (60-89 hours) = 1.90 GPA
Senior (90 or more hours) = 2.00 GPA
Minimum GPAs for Associate degree students:
25% of degree completed = 1.70 GPA
26% to 49% of degree completed = 1.80 GPA
50% to 74% of degree completed = 1.90 GPA
75% or more of degree completed = 2.00 GPA
All probationary students must attend weekly required appointments with a tutor through Academic Mentoring Services (located in the Ally Center), the college’s academic support program. In addition, they must attend two weekly study hours. Hours are chosen at the student’s convenience. The specific schedule for AMS is posted on the Ally Center’s scheduling website at the beginning of each semester.
Implications for Financial Aid
Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (FA-SAP) is a calculation of GPA and course completion rates to determine if a student is meeting educational requirements and is on track to graduate on time with a degree or certificate. FA-SAP is reviewed at the end of each semester. Full requirements can be viewed in the catalog. Students who do not make FA-SAP will lose federal student aid. Students are eligible to appeal through a separate financial aid appeals process.
The Veterans Administration (VA) will be notified if a student receiving VA benefits does not meet the academic progress requirements.
