Scholastic Standards

Academic Probation
Any student not maintaining a 2.0 grade point average will be placed on academic probation for the following semester. If the student continues after that period to maintain less than a 2.0 grade point average, he may be temporarily suspended or permanently dismissed from the college. 

Academic Dismissal
Temporary suspension or permanent dismissal for academic reasons will be determined by the Dean of Academics and will be based on the continued failure of the student to maintain the minimal academic standards. The Dean of Academics may, at his discretion, elect to dismiss a student at any time for poor academic performance. 

Course Repeats
Repeating a course is permitted, but credit is granted only once. In the case of a course having been failed and then repeated and passed, the higher grade will replace the F and be used in re-computing the grade point average. Students may not repeat a course for credit that they have previously passed. 

Honors

At the end of each semester, the Dean of Academics publishes an Honor Roll of students taking 9 or more credits who have earned a grade point average of 3.50.
