C. Academic Standing

  1. The assignment of academic standing is based on both the student's most recent term and overall grade point average.
  2. The minimum satisfactory academic average is 1.70 for freshmen and joint-enrolled high school students; 1.80 for sophomores; 1.95 for juniors; 2.00 for seniors and special undergraduates; 2.70 for master's and special graduate students; and 3.00 for doctoral students.
  3. Students not on academic probation are in good academic standing.
  4. Academic warning
    1. Academic warning is a subcategory of good academic standing, differing only in the maximum allowable schedule load.
    2. A student who has an overall academic average below the minimum satisfactory scholarship requirement, or whose academic average for work taken during any term is below this requirement, shall be placed on academic warning.
  5. Academic probation
    1. A student on academic warning whose academic average is below the minimum satisfactory scholarship requirement for any term shall be placed on academic probation.
    2. An undergraduate student in good academic standing whose academic average for any term is below 1.00, based on at least six credit hours, shall be placed on academic probation.
    3. A student also may be placed on academic probation through other actions, as described in the following section.
  6. Dismissal for unsatisfactory scholarship
    1. The Institute may drop from the rolls at any time a student whose record in scholarship is unsatisfactory.
    2. A graduate student whose academic average for any term is 2.00 or below may be placed on academic probation or dropped, regardless of the student's previous record.
    3. A student on academic probation whose scholastic average for the term of probation is below the minimum satisfactory scholarship requirement and whose overall academic average is below the minimum satisfactory scholarship requirement shall be dropped from the rolls for unsatisfactory scholarship.
    4. An undergraduate student on academic warning whose academic average for any term is below 1.00, based on at least six credit hours, shall be dropped from the rolls for unsatisfactory scholarship.
    5. The record of a student on academic probation whose term average is unsatisfactory, but whose overall academic record is satisfactory, may be reviewed by the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee or the Graduate Committee, as appropriate. The student may be dropped or may be continued on academic probation.
  7. Academic review
    A student who normally would be dropped from the rolls for academic deficiencies, but appears from the record not to have completed the term, may be placed on academic review. This is a temporary standing that makes the student ineligible for registration. If no acceptable explanation is given within a reasonable time, the standing is changed to drop.
  8. The academic standing regulations given previously for graduate students do not preclude a school from having more rigorous requirements.
