A Probation notice is a warning system to let students

Academic Probation. You are encouraged to
seek advisement, tutoring and to attend workshops offered through the Counseling Center.

Yes, however, it is recommended that you limit your
schedule to
12 credits.

|
|
| Q: |
What happens if I am placed on Academic Suspension?

the next semester.
|
|
| Q: |
Am I eligible for financial
aid if I have been placed on Suspension?

office, participate in intercollegiate functions or be a public representative of the College.
|
|
| Q: |
Is there any way I may have my Suspension status changed?

When you receive a Suspension letter, an Appeal Form will
be included. You must complete the Appeal Form and return it to the Graduation Office by the deadline date indicated in the letter and on the Appeal Form. NO CHANGE OF STATUS
WILL BE MADE WITHOUT AN APPEAL.
A
committee will read all appeals and make recommendations for the next
semester. If you are changed
to Probation, you may register for at least 12 credit hours.

make the necessary adjustments to your schedule.

need to contact the Financial Aid Office to

|
|
| Q: |
What
if I choose not to appeal my Suspension?
|
|
| A: |
If
you choose not to appeal your Suspension, you may register for up to 8
credit
hours. You will be responsible for your bill at the College since financial
aid is not an option.
|
|
| Q: |
What
if I registered for more than 8 credits before I was notified that I had
been Suspended? Will I be able to keep my schedule?
|
|
| A: |
NO! The appeals committee will determine the number of
credits you may take as well as the courses you need to repeat to bring
your GPA up to a satisfactory level.
|
|
| Q: |
What
if I stay with a schedule of 9 or more credits and do not appeal?

Three
(3) working days prior to the Fall or Spring semesters the Graduation Office
deschedules students who are dependent upon financial aid and reduces to
8 credit hours those students who are responsible for their own bills.
|
|
| Q: |
How
can I raise my GPA so that I am not suspended in the future?
|
|
| A: |
The
quickest way to raise your GPA is to repeat courses with “F” grades, since the new grade will replace the “F”.
|
|
| Q: |
I
did very well this semester, why was I placed on Suspension?
|
|
| A: |
Suspension
is based on your cumulative GPA
not the current semester GPA.
