Scholastic Performance OverviewTo be in scholastic good standing, students must have cumulative grade point
averages sufficient for the classification to avoid scholastic probation or suspension.
Students on probation are placed on scholastic suspension if they fail to meet the
minimum grade point average for classification on both the cumulative grade point
average and the current semester grade point average at the end of the semester or
summer term. This is based on the cumulative grade point average and the current
semester grade point average at the end of the semester or summer term.
Dean’s ListAt the end of each fall and spring semester, CBC students with outstanding scholastic

leadership roll/Dean’s List, students must:
a. Successfully complete at least 12 non-developmental semester hours
b. Earn passing grades in all courses completed and
c. Earn a semester grade point average of at least 3.50 on the 4.00 scale

Scholastic Suspension
A student on scholastic suspension is ineligible to enroll in the program from which
suspended for one regular semester. A student on suspension for the first time may
appeal the suspension before the admission committee. A student on scholastic
suspension from a program for the second time is not automatically eligible for
readmission to the same program of study.
Removal of Scholastic Suspension
A student on scholastic suspension is removed from such suspension, placed on
scholastic probation, and readmitted to the same program at the end of the one regular
semester period of suspension.
A student on scholastic suspension in the spring semester is eligible to attend the
succeeding summer term but may not register for more than four hours in any summer
session. If the student has achieved the current term grade point average for their
classification, after successfully completing at least six semester credit hours during the
summer term, the student may be readmitted for the fall semester under probationary
status.
A student suspended the first time may submit a request for waiver of the one semester
waiting period and appear before the Admissions Committee for review. (A student
suspended again after having appeared before the committee may not request a waiver
of the period of suspension and will be suspended from enrollment in the ensuing
semester) The committee considers each request on its merit. A student readmitted
by the committee may enroll for a maximum of 13 semester hours in the fall or spring
semesters. The admissions committee is chaired by the Director of Admissions/Registrar
and Director of Financial Aid, and students wishing to appear before the committee should
contact the Admissions/Registrar’s Office.
