Date of Last Review:  June 25, 2021

Academic Probation Procedure

Students who are placed on academic probation will be informed of their status by letter.  Department/school chairs or a designated full-time faculty member should work with each student on probation to create a probation contract.  Provisions of the contract are at the discretion of the department/school but should include remediation measures that address the causes of the student’s poor academic performance.  Students who decline to participate in a probation contract during a given semester waive their right to appeal academic suspension at the end of the following semester if suspension occurs.

Academic Suspension Procedure

Students who are placed on academic suspension will be informed of their status by letter from the registrar.  Suspended students may choose to appeal their suspension by complying with the procedures contained in the notification letter.  The Suspension Appeals Committee will review appeals and decide if a student may return on academic probation. 

For further details on probation and suspension, see the current academic catalog.
