Academic Standing

All students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 to remain in good academic standing. Academic standing is reviewed at the end of each semester.

First-Semester Students
First-semester students whose g.p.a. is below 2.00 will receive a letter of warning and will be required to contact an academic advisor who must approve the student's schedule for the following semester. Students who fail to consult an academic advisor will be blocked from making changes to their schedules.

Continuing Students
Continuing students in good academic standing whose semester g.p.a. is below 2.00 for two consecutive semesters will receive a letter of warning and will be required to contact an academic advisor who must approve the student's schedule for the following semester. Students who fail to consult an academic advisor will be blocked from making changes to their schedules.
