Scholastic Performance Overview
To 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.

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

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.
