Academic Regulations and Procedures

Academic Sanctions: Warning, Probation, and Dismissal

It is important for you to understand the university’s regulations for maintaining academic good standing, which can effect your continuation at the university, participation in athletics or student activities, and also financial aid eligibility.

The catalogue gives full details on Academic Warning, Academic Probation, and Academic Dismissal. If you become subject to Academic Warning or Academic Probation, take it seriously! See your advisor for help; formulate a specific plan for re-taking courses, changing your academic emphasis, or changing your habits. Warning and Probation are intended to help students get on the right track.

The Academic Advising Center in the Administration Building will give advice to any student in academic difficulty.

Eligibility to Participate in Athletics or Student Activities

Students who have been placed on academic probation may not serve on University committees, hold leadership positions in student government and other major co-curricular organizations, or represent the University in intercollegiate athletics.

A permanent Academic Eligibility Appeals/Review Committee is established as a sub-committee of the university’s Student Faculty Academic Affairs Committee (SFAAC). This committee is composed of two faculty members from that committee (elected by the SFAAC, one elected chair), two students from that committee (elected by the SFAAC as observers, non-voting), the Faculty Athletic Advisor, and the Associate Dean of Students or designee(ex-officio, non-voting). This committee may review requests for waiver of academic eligibility sanctions.

To be eligible for leadership positions in co-curricular organizations, non-Continuing Education students shall be enrolled full time (at least 12 hours) and Continuing Education students shall be enrolled at equivalent full-time levels for their specific programs. Participation in intercollegiate athletics is also governed by enrollment status conditions.
