Restrictions applying to Students on Probation

The following restrictions apply

  1. A student on academic probation may enroll in no more than 14 credit hours each semester.
  2. The following co-curricular restrictions will apply to a student on academic probation
    1. They are ineligible to participate in any college athletic team or club sport.
    2. They may not hold office in any campus organization or social fraternity or sorority.
    3. They may not travel off campus to a meeting or trip with any college organization or club unless required to do so for an academic program.
    4. They may not represent the college in any on campus or off campus public events or other co-curricular activities (e.g., plays, musical performances, student newspaper) unless required to do so for an academic course.
    5. They may not register for courses that require co-curricular participation, unless required by their major.

The above restrictions, credit hours and co-curricular, first apply in the semester subsequent to that in which the student is placed on academic probation, with the exception that for first year students, implementation of the above co-curricular restrictions will occur at the end of the spring semester. The restrictions continue in force until the student has returned to “good academic standing”, with the exception that when a student has earned a semester grade point average of 2.0 or better, with a minimum of 12 credits calculated in the last semester attended (Fall or Spring), co-curricular restrictions will not be enforced for the following semester. All appeals will be handled by the Academic Standards Committee.

At the beginning of each semester, a list of students on co-curricular restriction will be available in the Records Office. All faculty, staff and administrators that directly or indirectly supervise co-curricular activities are responsible for checking with the Records Office to ensure that students are eligible to participate in a co-curricular activity. The Provost of the college is responsible for enforcing adherence to the academic probation policy by all members of the college community.
