Policy Title

  Academic Advising for Undergraduate Students Placed on Probation Policy

Policy Statement

Students who fall below a 2.0 cumulative GPA will be placed on academic probation and an academic performance contract will be developed. Undergraduate students will be placed on academic probation for the following reasons:

• Cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 and/or

• Student fails to complete 70% of attempted classes

• Student fails the same course twice

Students will remain on academic probation until either successfully returning to “Good Standing” status or failing to satisfactorily complete the provisions of their current academic performance contract in which case the student may be subject to dismissal.

• The following restrictions will be placed on undergraduate students on probation:

• Student may not take any accelerated (5-week) courses.

• Student will be limited to twelve (12) credit hours for the quarter(s) of academic probation.

• Previously failed classes must be repeated before any others.

• If the student meets the quarter’s academic performance contract but their cumulative GPA does not rise to a 2.0 or higher and/or there are still unresolved failed classes, a second or subsequent academic perf01mance contract will be drawn.

• A student who wishes to drop a course(s) and/or withdraw from the academic program while on academic probation must provide justifiable cause to the Dean’s Office and receive permission from the Dean to alter their registration and/or their academic performance contract. If the withdrawal is deemed justifiable the student can return to the program in the next quarter with the same probation/contract status.

  • If a student does not receive permission from the Dean to drop a course(s) and/or withdraw from the academic program, he/she will be in violation of his/her academic performance contract and will be dismissed from the program.

Undergraduate students who are on probation must do the following in order to ensure academic progress is being maintained in each of their courses:

• Meet with the CGUS Academic Success Coordinator during weeks 1, 3, 7, and 9 of the quarter.

• Enroll in LFS 105 and successfully complete the course during the first quarter of their contract.

• Meet all requirements of their individual academic performance contract.

To successfully exit academic probation the student must:

• Achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher and

• Complete any and all required elements of their academic performance contract.
