Academic Probation

Life Style / College / Academic Probation

Academic Probation: If a student on academic warning fails to earn the minimum semester GPA for the credit hours earned at the end of the next semester of enrollment, she/he will be placed on academic probation. Students on academic probation may only register for their next semester with the division counselor who will assist the student in identifying and implementing appropriate interventions. The student will be allowed to register for only nine semester hours. Students should note that their status as a full-time student is jeopardized while on academic probation; therefore, their financial aid and insurance eligibility will be affected.
