Part 5. Failure to Meet Standards

Warning

If, at the end of the evaluation period, a student has not met either the college’s GPA or completion percentage standard, the student will be placed on warning for one evaluation period. Students on warning are eligible to register and receive financial aid.
If, at the end of the warning period, a student who has been on warning has met both the cumulative GPA and cumulative completion percentage standards, the warning status is ended and the student is returned to good standing.

Suspension of Students on Warning Status

If, at the end of the warning period, a student who has been on warning status has not met both the college's cumulative grade point average and completion percentage standards, the student shall be suspended. Students on suspension are not eligible to register or receive financial aid.

Suspension of Students Not on Warning Status

Suspension for Exceeding the Maximum Time-Frame. If at the end of the evaluation period a student has failed to meet the college's standard for measurement of maximum time-frame, the student shall be suspended from financial aid eligibility.
Suspension for Inability to Meet Program Requirements within the Maximum Time Frame. If, at the end of the evaluation period, the college determines it is not possible for a student to raise her or his GPA or course completion percentage to meet the college's standards before the student completes their program of study at Normandale, the student shall be suspended from financial aid.
Suspension for Extraordinary Circumstances. Institutions may immediately suspend students in the event of extraordinary circumstances, including but not limited to previously suspended (and reinstated) students whose academic performance falls below acceptable standards during a subsequent term of enrollment; students who register for courses, receive financial aid, and do not attend any classes; and students whose attendance patterns appear to abuse the receipt of financial aid.
Suspension at Another Minnesota State Institution. Students who have been suspended from another Minnesota State institution within the past academic year shall be denied admission at Normandale but will be provided with instructions for appeal through the Admissions Office.
