Academic Review

Academic Review is intended to identify undergraduate students whose academic performance indicates they may be at risk of not successfully completing their degree. It is not a disciplinary action but serves as formal notice that academic improvement is required. Students placed on Academic Review are not considered to be in good academic standing. However, first-time, first-semester undergraduate students who are placed on Academic Review solely as a result of a review-period GPA below 1.70, and not because they met any other Academic Review criterion, will retain Good Academic Standing during the semester in which they are first placed on Academic Review.

Academic Review is conducted at designated times during the academic year. 

• Traditional Undergraduate Students: Academic Review is conducted at the conclusion of each fall and spring semester.
• Adult Degree Program Students: Academic Review is conducted twice each academic year, in January and May. Students are evaluated after completing two (2) modules of enrollment. Students who begin in modules 2, 4 and 5, or who interrupt their enrollment by taking one (1) or more modules off, will be reviewed after they have completed two (2) modules of enrollment during the next scheduled academic review. 

Students with one (1) or more grades of Incomplete (I) or In Progress (I/P) remain subject to review under the College's Academic Standing policies. Academic Review or Academic Dismissal may be determined after the final grade(s) is recorded, regardless of the standard academic review schedule. 

At the time Academic Review is conducted, students will be placed on Academic Review if they meet one (1) or more of the following criteria: 

• The student's cumulative GPA falls below the minimum required for good academic standing; 
• The student's review-period GPA (semester GPA for Traditional Undergraduate students or two-module GPA for Adult Degree Program students) is below 1.70 indicating unsatisfactory academic progress during the review period; or 
• The student earns failing grades (F or UF) and/or withdrawals (W, WA, or WF) in three (3) or more courses during the review period. 

Students placed on Academic Review are subject to the following requirements: 

• Complete an academic success plan;
• Meet regularly with an academic advisor or other designated College representative;
• Enroll in no more than 15 credits;
• Enroll only in courses taken for a letter grade; and
• Comply with any additional academic conditions established through the Academic Review process.

Students remain on Academic Review until they regain good academic standing and satisfy all applicable Academic Review requirements. 

Students enrolled in programs with additional academic or professional standards, such as the Nursing and Education programs, remain subject to the academic progression and retention requirements established by their academic program.
