Academic Dismissal

Decisions for academic dismissal shall be made by the vice president
for academic affairs and will be based on a student's GPA. Students
who have not earned a minimum 2.0 grade point average overall
at the end of a semester during which the student is on academic
probation shall be dismissed from the institution. Students must
also earn an overall 2.0 grade point average in their major.
Students are responsible for meeting all requirements of the
educational program. Any student not earning a minimum grade
point average of 1.5 at the end of the first semester will be liable for
dismissal. The student whose GPA is 2.0 or lower at the end of the
second semester is liable for dismissal. A student with a GPA of 1.0
or below during the first semester will be dismissed.
Students dismissed from the institution may reapply the next
academic year. Students may appeal academic dismissal. This
procedure is found in the Student Handbook.
