Academic Review

Academic Review is not intended as a punitive measure but rather as a serious warning that a student's academic progress places their continued enrollment at the College in jeopardy. Students on Academic Review are not considered to be in good academic standing. The Academic Review period provides students with an opportunity to make the academic improvements necessary to regain good standing.

Good academic standing requires a student to maintain the minimum cumulative grade point average established by the College, satisfy any minimum grade point average requirements in the major, and make satisfactory progress toward degree completion.

Academic Review for students enrolled in modular courses is conducted twice each academic year: in January, following modules 1 and 2, and in August, following modules 3 and 4.

Students may be placed on Academic Review for any of the following reasons:

• Failure to maintain the minimum cumulative grade point average required for good academic standing;
• Failure to maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 in the major field of study;
• Earning failing grades (F or UF) and/or withdrawals (W, WA, or WF) in three or more courses during two consecutive modules;
• Earning a term grade point average below 1.70 over two consecutive modules; or
• Having one or more unresolved grades of Incomplete at the conclusion of a two-module review period.

Students who do not meet the grade point average requirements for good standing or who have one or more unresolved Incomplete grades at the conclusion of a two-module review period will automatically be placed on Academic Review for the following two modules.

At the discretion of the Dean, students on Academic Review may be required to enroll in a reduced course load and may be subject to additional academic conditions designed to support their success. 

Students on Academic Review are expected to enroll in coursework for a letter grade. Enrollment requirements, including any reduced course load, will be determined by the Dean.
