Traditional Undergraduate students who receive below a 1.5 cumulative grade-point average in their first semester of coursework will be academically dismissed from the College. Subsequently, the student will be granted an automatic appeal and be placed on academic review for the following semester. Students who are placed on academic review will be required to meet regularly with a member of the first-year academic advising team to check in on their progress throughout the semester. Students on academic review will not be permitted to take more than 12 credits in the following semester unless laboratory coursework would require a student to take no more than 14 credits. 

Students are notified of their automatic appeal in the academic dismissal letter issued by the Dean of Academic Affairs for the Traditional Undergraduate Program following the conclusion of each semester.
