Failure to Meet Academic Review Standards

Students on Academic Warning and Academic Probation are required to work with Academic Advising on a plan to address their progress. Changes to the student’s standing are communicated in writing. Financial aid eligibility is governed by the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.

Academic Warning: An undergraduate student who does not meet all of the academic progress criteria is placed on Academic Warning for the next quarter of enrollment. If grades are submitted after the third week of that quarter, the student will be placed on Academic Warning the subsequent quarter. A student on Academic Warning is required to meet with his or her academic advisor to develop an academic plan.

Academic Probation: Any undergraduate student on Academic Warning who fails to meet the requirements of the academic plan or fails to meet all of the academic progress criteria is placed on Academic Probation for the next quarter of enrollment. 

Academic Dismissal: Dismissal from the University occurs when a student on Academic Probation:

  • Fails to meet all of the academic review criteria

OR

  • Fails to meet the requirements  of the academic plan

Upon dismissal, eligibility for all federal, state and institutional aid for NLU courses is withdrawn.
