Policy Title: 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 1.50, 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 1.50, 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 program GPA is required for graduation. Refer to POLICY 413.1 REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES and POLICY 413.2 REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFICATES for graduation requirements.
