Academic Dismissal

The Program Director and Dean will review the status of any student who fails to meet the above standards. In extreme cases, academic dismissal may result. In such cases, the student will have the opportunity to appeal the dismissal. If the appeal is granted, a remediation plan will be developed and the student will be placed on academic review.

Academic review will be imposed in all cases not resulting in academic dismissal. Students on academic review will be required to earn grades of “B” (3.00) or better in all courses during the ensuing term or until the cumulative G.P.A. has risen above 3.00, whichever is longer. A remediation plan will also be developed.

If a student already on academic review earns a G.P.A. below 3.00 for the term or obtains any course grade below “B-” (2.70), that student will be academically dismissed. Such students will have the right to appeal their dismissal, but the final decision will rest with Program Director, Dean, and the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
