Students will be expected to maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 and complete a minimum of 67% of all attempted credits. Any student who does not maintain the cumulative 2.0 GPA academic requirement, or who does not meet the 67% completion requirement will, at the end of the term, be placed on academic probation (Students remain on probation until these standards are met, or until they meet the criteria for academic suspension listed below). The student must meet with a counselor and their program academic advisor to set up a plan which emphasizes the assistance available through the college to help the student.
- A student who has been placed on probation and fails to maintain a 2.0 GPA the following term or does not meet the 67% completion rate of all attempted credits, will be suspended from the college for a period of one regular semester (excluding summer).
- A student who has been suspended must remain out of the college for a period of one semester before being readmitted on probation.
- A student readmitted after suspension must maintain a term GPA of at least 2.0 and a term completion rate of at least 67%. The student will remain on probation until his or her cumulative GPA is 2.0 or above and cumulative completion rate is 67% or above.
- A student suspended for the second time must remain out of the college for a period of one full academic year.
Note: It is possible to be in good academic standing at the college, and yet not be in good academic standing in certain programs which require a GPA higher than 2.0. Some programs of study have program handbooks (e.g. Practical Nursing) that outline additional or more rigorous academic program requirements.
