Part 10. Definitions

Academic Plan. A student who successfully appeals for reinstatement will be required by Normandale to complete, during their probationary period, specific requirements contained in an academic plan developed for that student by Normandale. At a minimum the academic plan will require a student to achieve a 2.50 GPA during their probationary term and/or a 100% completion rate during their probationary term, depending upon the deficiency.

Probationary Status. A student who has successfully appealed shall be placed on probation for one evaluation period. If, at the end of the next evaluation period, a student on probation status:

  • Has met the institution’s cumulative grade point average and completion percentage standards, the student shall be returned to good standing.
  • Has not met the institution’s cumulative grade point average and completion percentage standards but has met the conditions specified in his/her academic plan, the student shall retain his/her financial aid and registration eligibility under the status of probation with an academic plan for the subsequent evaluation period.
  • Has not met the institution’s cumulative grade point average and completion percentage standards and has also not met the conditions specified in his/her academic plan, the student shall be re-suspended immediately upon completion of the evaluation.

Suspension Status. A student on suspension status is not eligible to register or receive financial aid. Students who have been suspended may regain their eligibility only through the institution’s appeal process or when they are again meeting the institution’s satisfactory academic progress cumulative grade point average and completion percentage standards.

Warning Status. Students on warning are eligible to register and receive financial aid for one evaluation period despite a determination that the student has not met either an institution’s grade point average standard, or completion percentage standard, or both.

  • If at the end of the warning period a student who has been on warning status has met both the institution’s cumulative grade point average and completion percentage standards, the warning status is ended and the student is returned to good standing.
  • If at the end of the warning period a student who has been on warning status has not met either the institution’s cumulative grade point average or completion percentage standards, the institution shall suspend the student.
