APGS: Undergraduate

A student’s academic performance is monitored to assure he/she is making satisfactory progress towards graduation. Students must meet the following criteria in order to be considered to be making satisfactory progress:

Total Number of Semester Credit Hours Attempted Cumulative GPA
                                  0 – 23.99 1.60
                                 24 – 53.99 1.80
54+ 2.00

Students who do not meet the criteria noted above will be placed on academic warning. Two consecutive semesters of academic warning will result in intensive advising requirements.

Students who have been on probation and have failed to make the necessary improvements in their academic performance will be dismissed. Students may appeal dismissal decisions by petitioning the Academic Dean.

Students who attempt LAS 30012, LAS 20010 or LAS 20020 two times and do not successfully complete this initial class within those attempts, will be dismissed from the program.  If the student drops the course within the add/drop period, it is not considered an attempt.  Withdrawals are considered valid attempts.  Students may appeal their dismissal in writing to the Academic Dean.

Students who withdraw or fail all other course enrollments in any two consecutive terms will be placed on academic probation.  Failure to earn any credit in the third term for which the student enrolls will result in dismissal from the University for a period of one year.  Students wishing to return must appeal in writing to the Academic Dean.

Students whose cumulative GPA falls below a 1.00 will be academically dismissed if circumstances are other than those noted in the two preceding paragraphs.
