Academic Probation
Global undergraduate students with a cumulative grade point average below 2.0 at the end of any semester will be placed on academic probation and limited to 12 credits per semester.
All students on academic probation must complete an Academic Plan in conjunction with their Student Success coach detailing obstacles and solutions to achieve their academic goals. Students must follow their plan for the semester(s) in which they are on academic probation. Students are encouraged to seek assistance through LBC | Capital’s Ally Center to reach their academic goals.
Students placed on academic probation will be required to create and follow an Academic Plan and achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or greater after two consecutive semesters enrolled at LBC | Capital. Failure to achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or greater or create and follow an Academic Plan within this timeframe will result in a recommendation for academic dismissal with a right to appeal. The purpose of this requirement is to safeguard students by ensuring that they have an opportunity to meet minimum GPA requirements for graduation and financial aid.
Students will be notified via a letter from the Registrar’s Office to their LBC email regarding academic probation. Key stakeholders will also be notified to provide support to students.
Implications for Financial Aid
GPA and completion rates are reviewed for Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress at the end of each academic year, except for one-year programs which are reviewed after one term. (Full requirements can be viewed in the catalog.) Students who do not make academic progress will lose federal student aid. Students are eligible to appeal through a separate financial aid appeals process.
The Veterans Administration will be notified if a student receiving VA benefits does not meet the academic progress requirements.
