Academic Probation

Academic Standing--as found in the Edgewood College Undergraduate Catalogue 2003-3005, page 41.

Good Academic Standing

To be in good academic standing, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.00 with no grades of "Incomplete."  The grade point average is based on all courses attempted on a graded basis except pass/fail courses and pre-college courses.  A student's academic standing is noted on the term grade report and on his or her official record.  It is not calculated for Winterim.

Warned:  Incomplete

This action is taken whenever a student has received on or more grades of "incomplete."  This is a temporary status and will revert to the appropriate academic action when the "incomplete" is removed and the GPA is re-calculated.

Probation

A student will be placed on probation if the cumulative grade point average is less than 2.00.  Students on probation are required to meet with Learning Support Services Staff for an assessment and information about academic support services.  While on probation, a student who takes an "incomplete" in any course may not register for the following semester.

Dismissal

A student will be dismissed if the cumulative GPA is less than 2.00 for two consecutive terms, including Summer Session (but excluding Winterim), with a minimum of 12 cumulative credits attempted. 

Students dismissed from the college may re-apply after attending another institution and demonstrating academic success in at least 12 credits of college-transferable courses.  The application will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee.

Edgewood College Academic Support and Sponsorship Program

Students on Academic Probation are required to meet with a member of Learning Support Services to go through a reformative assessment.  Here, they are able to discuss factors that contributed to the student ending the semester in probationary status.  At this time, the student has the option to choose to work with a mentor throughout the semester to improve study habits and connect to the needed on-campus resources.
