Standards of Academic Progress

Students who experience academic difficulty will be advised about course or program deficiencies so that they may correct them at an early point.

Unsatisfactory Academic Progress Status

When a student's academic progress is not satisfactory, the number of credits for which he/she may register will be limited. In addition, special academic assistance will be recommended to help improve the student's academic performance and progress toward educational goals.

Remedies

A student on academic warning or probation may enroll for a maximum of 15 credits per regular semester, or three credits per summer session or pre-session. A student on academic warning or probation may be required to enroll in developmental courses, numbered 001-099, as directed by an academic advisor.

In order to plan a program of study which will assist a student's return to good standing, a student under this status must consult with an academic advisor. In order to be removed from academic warning or probationary status, the student must attain good standing.

Re-attainment of Satisfactory Academic Status

A student's academic status will be determined at the end of each regular semester. If a student completes classes during any summer session, a petition must be approved by the dean in order to use those hours to regain "good standing" and an official change in academic status.

The academic standards categories and resulting status of students are listed below.

Academic Standards Category Resulting Student Status
12-29.9 credits completed, with less than a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (GPA). Academic Warning
30 plus credits completed, with less than a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (GPA). Academic Probation
A student is placed on financial aid probation. Academic Probation
A student does not fulfill the requirements for good standing during the next semester of enrollment. Academic Suspension
A student spends one semester on academic suspension, a subsequent semester on academic probation, and does not achieve minimum requirements for good standing. Academic Dismissal

Petition for Reinstatement

A student who has been placed on academic suspension or dismissal may petition for reinstatement, in writing, stating the courses in which enrollment is requested and the reasons the academic status and stated restrictions should be waived or changed.

This letter is to be submitted at least one week prior the beginning of the term of enrollment in question to the Assistant Dean of Student Development (Prescott Campus) or Assistant Dean of Student Services (Verde Valley Campus). The decision of the Assistant Dean is final.
