Credit granted by ECCC for Military Services may not transfer to other colleges or universities. Students should contact transfer institutions directly for their current Military Services acceptance and scoring policies. ACADEMIC/CAREER/TECHNICAL PROBATION AND SUSPENSION Probation and suspension procedures for academic, career and technical students are designed to make the student aware that the quality of his/her scholastic achievement is below the standards required for satisfactory progression toward graduation. If any full-time/part-time student, who is in Good Standing at the beginning of a Fall or Spring term, earns a term GPA of less than 1.5, he/she will be placed on Probation at the end of that term. If any full-time/part-time student, who is on Probation at the beginning of a Fall or Spring term, earns a term GPA of less than 1.5, he/she will be placed on Suspension at the end of that term. While on Suspension, the student is prohibited from enrolling in any classes for one regular semester term (summer is not a regular semester term). If the Suspension occurs at the conclusion of the Spring term, the Suspension may be removed by attending during the Summer term at East Central Community College and earning a term GPA of not less than a 1.50. Any student re-admitted following suspension will be accepted on probation. To be removed from probation, the student must meet the stated minimum listed above. Although a term GPA of less than 1.50 is used as the basis for probation and suspension, a higher cumulative programGPA is required for graduation. Refer to POLICY 413.1 REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES and POLICY 413.2 REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFICATES for graduation requirements. The above policy will also apply to all transfer students. PROGRAM OF STUDY A student registering for 15 or more semester hours will be considered a full-time student and should follow one of the curriculums as outlined. Changes of Program of Study requests should be submitted to the Office of Admissions and Records before the end of the Census Date (end of the Drop/Add Period) of a given term. After the Census Date, processing of requests for program changes may wait, for reporting reasons, until the beginning of advance registration for the following semester. A student should discuss any proposed changes in his/her program with his/her advisor, and if applicable Financial Aid. CLASS ATTENDANCE AND ABSENCES When a student enrolls in a course, the student assumes the responsibility for attending all class meetings, completing all assignments, and otherwise satisfying the requirements of that course. Realizing that from time to time there may be just cause for absence, the College has established the policy outlined below.
