Probation, Dismissal and Reinstatement

Students must maintain a certain minimum Grade Point Average based on the number of credits earned:

  • 0 - 12 credits - 1.50 cumulative GPA
  • 13 - 24 credits - 1.75 cumulative GPA
  • 25 credits or more - 2.00 cumulative GPA
Students will be placed on Grade Point Average Probation at the end of the Spring semester if their cumulative GPA falls below the minimum indicated above.

Students on probation must earn a GPA of 2.01 or higher for the next academic year (Fall and Spring semesters) in order to remain enrolled in the College. If not in attendance for both Fall and Spring semesters, students who re-enter the College on probation must meet the terms of probation for the term they were in attendance.

Students who fail to meet the terms of GPA probation will be dismissed at the end of the Spring semester. Dismissal from the College is permanent unless a written reinstatement appeal, made to the Committee on Academic Standing of one of the College's three schools, is successful.

If you have any grades of F, FIN, FAB, FPN, WF or WU, consider repeating the course, whether it is a required course or not. If you get a 'C' or better when you repeat the course, the failing grade will not be calculated in your cumulative GPA. You may repeat up to 16 credits of failing grades. For more information, please see 'F' Grade Policy. It is a good idea to see an advisor before registering for the same course again.

Students on probation are urged to take advantage of the tutoring services offered by the:
Student Academic Consulting Center (SACC)
2nd Floor, Room 116, Newman Vertical Campus
(646) 312- 4830

While on Grade Point Average probation a student will be restricted to no more than four courses (13 equated credits) each semester. Students who have been reinstated by the Committee on Academic Standing following dismissal will be restricted to no more than two courses.

Grades of FIN, FAB, FPN, WU, or F are violations of probation if they have not been removed from the cumulative GPA by the repetition of the course with the grade of C or better.

Students who are on probation may not hold office in student government or on publications, sit on College committees, or engage in varsity sports; they are also advised to limit club activities.

The deadline for submitting appeals for reinstatement to the Committee on Academic Standing in the appropriate school is November 1 for the Spring semester and April 1 for the Fall semester. Students must also file a reentry application with the Registrar's Office. For more information about filing an appeal for reinstatement, please see Appeals.
