Required GPA levels for a student according to number of hours attempted at the College:
 |
Students who have attempted 12-21 semester credit hours at the College must maintain a 1.5 Cumulative Grade Point Average. |
|
Students who have attempted 22-32 semester credit hours at the College must maintain a 1.75 Cumulative Grade Point Average. |
|
Students who have attempted 33 or more semester credit hours at the College must maintain a 2.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average. |
Exceptions:
|
Programs within the College that are subject to external licensure, certification, and/or accreditation or that are fewer than four semesters in length may have higher standards of progress than the institutional standards of progress. |
|
The selected transfer student will be placed on Academic Probation upon admission and must transition to these standards of academic progress. |
|
Special standards for academic progress have been established for the student who wishes to remain eligible to receive Title IV financial aid. |
Intervention for Student Success
When a student is placed on Academic Probation, One Term Academic Suspension, or One Calendar Year Academic Suspension, College officials may provide intervention for the student by taking steps including, but not limited to, imposing maximum course loads, requiring a study skills course, and/or prescribing other specific courses.
|
A transfer student who is admitted on clear academic status is subject to the same standards of academic progress as a “native” student. Grades accrued at other regionally accredited postsecondary institutions are not included in GPA calculation. |
|
A transfer student who is admitted on Academic Probation retains that status until the student has attempted at least 12 semester credit hours at the College. If, at the conclusion of the semester credit hours at the College, the Cumulative GPA at the College is below 1.5, the student is suspended for one semester. The transcript will read SUSPENDED-ONE SEMESTER. |
|
If, at the conclusion of the semester in which the transfer student admitted on Academic Probation has attempted a total of 12 semester credit hours at the College, the Cumulative GPA at Snead is 1.5 or above, the student's status is Clear. |
|
When the Cumulative GPA is at or above the GPA required for the total number of credit hours attempted at the College, the student's status is Clear. |
|
When a student's Cumulative GPA is below the GPA required for the number of credit hours attempted at the College, the student is placed on Academic Probation.
| When the Cumulative GPA of a student who is on Academic Probation remains below the GPA required for the total number of credit hours attempted at the College but the Semester GPA is 2.0 or above, the student remains on Academic Probation. |
When the Cumulative GPA of a student who is on Academic Probation remains below the GPA required for the total number of credit hours attempted at the College and the Semester GPA is below 2.0, the student is suspended for one semester. The transcript will read
SUSPENDED ONE SEMESTER. |
When the Cumulative GPA is at or above the GPA required for the total number of credit hours attempted at the College, the student's status is Clear. |
|
The student who is suspended for one semester may appeal. If, after the appeal, the student is readmitted without serving the one semester suspension, the transcript will read
SUSPENDED-ONE SEMESTER/READMITTED UPON APPEAL. |
|
The student who is on Academic Probation after being suspended for one semester (whether the student has served the suspension or has been readmitted upon appeal) without having since achieved Clear academic status and whose Cumulative GPA falls below the level required for the total number of hours attempted at the College but whose Semester GPA is 2.0 or above will remain on Academic Probation until the student achieves the required GPA for the total number of hours attempted.
A student returning from a one-term or one-year suspension and, while on academic probation, fails to obtain the required GPA for the number of hours attempted and fails to maintain a term GPA of 2.0, will be placed on a one-year suspension. |
|
The student may appeal a one-term or one-year suspension. |
| |
the permanent student record will reflect the student's status (except when the status is clear) When appropriate, the record will reflect ACADEMIC PROBATION, ACADEMIC SUSPENSION-ONE TERM, ACADEMIC SUSPENSION-ONE YEAR, ONE TERM SUSPENSION-READMITTED ON APPEAL, or ONE YEAR SUSPENSION-READMITTED ON APPEAL. |
If a student declares no contest of the facts leading to suspension but simply wishes to request consideration for readmission, the student may submit a request in writing for an "appeal for readmission" to the Admissions Appeal Committee within a designated, published number of days of receipt of the notice of suspension. During the meeting ofthe Admissionss Appeal Committee, which shall not be considered a "due process" hearing but rather a petition for readmission, the student shall be given an opportunity to present a rationale and/or statement of mitigating circumstances in support of immediate readmission. The decision of the Admissions Appeal Committee, together with the materials presented by the student, shall be placed in the College's official records. Additionally, a copy of the written decision shall be provided to the student. Equity, reasonableness, and consistency should be the standards by which such decisions are measured.
