Academic Probation

Students on academic probation failed to earn a minimum of a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) for all credit work attempted in any semester. Learning support grades are not included in the calculation of the semester GPA. Probation alerts students to the fact that their academic performance is not acceptable and points out possible consequences if they do not improve during the next semester of enrollment (see Semester Grade Point Average). Students placed on academic probation must attain a minimum 2.0 GPA during the next semester of enrollment to remove themselves from probationary status. Students who fail to do so are subject to academic dismissal. In certain circumstances, the college may dismiss students from academic programs or the college without placing them on probation first.

Students who transfer to Athens Technical College from another college where they were on academic probation at the time of the transfer will be admitted to Athens Technical College on probation. They must attain a minimum 2.0 GPA during their first semester of enrollment at Athens Technical College in order to remove themselves from probationary status. Students who fail to do so are subject to academic dismissal.
