Academic Probation

Students are expected to maintain satisfactory academic progress in their coursework by maintaining a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. A CGPA below 2.0 constitutes a designation of academic probation. The purpose of academic probation is to alert a student that he or she is at risk of not succeeding academically. It is the desire of the College to provide early intervention so that all students might achieve academic success as they pursue their educational goals. At a minimum, each student on academic probation will receive advisement and referral as appropriate. Specific methods of remediation will be prescribed to meet the needs of the individual student. The following actions will be taken to ensure a student is monitored for academic risk:

All individual mid-term grades of D, F, E, and W will be reported to the student's advisor. It is the responsibility of the student to meet with their assigned advisor to seek advisement. To aid students in achieving academic success, the advisor might recommend the level of remediation necessary trying to ensure that a student has the opportunity to raise his or her GPA by the end of the semester. Various methods of remediation may be used by the students including routinely scheduled meetings with the advisor, the Office of Academic and Learning Support Services, course instructors, the College counselor, and others as necessary.

A full-time student whose cumulative GPA drops below a 2.0 will receive a letter from the Committee on Academic Support and be placed on Academic Probation for the next full-time semester (either fall or spring) unless the CGPA rises above 2.0 as a result of summer coursework. Academic Probation is a period of restricted enrollment. All students on probation are subject to the following restrictions:

• Students on Academic Probation are required to register for EE 100 Strategies for Academic Success (1 credit) during the following semester.
• Students should meet regularly with their advisors to monitor their academic progress during the probation period and to discuss what remediation is needed to ensure that the student has had the opportunity to demonstrate his or her ability to benefit from instruction at Mount Aloysius College.
• Students on probation may take a maximum of 14 credit hours per semester and should repeat courses under the Repeat Policy as stated in the College Catalog.
• Students on probation must earn a 2.0 GPA or higher during every semester they are on probation. Failure to achieve a 2.0 semester GPAor better while on Academic Probation may result in dismissal from the College.
