Notice of Academic Status

Each quarter the registrar provides the dean or dean’s designee with a list of students who do not meet program or graduation standards. The dean, dean’s designee and/or school/department Student Progress Committee reviews each student’s record according to specified program standards. A change of status, with the exception of dismissal, is the decision of the dean and/or the school/department Student Progress Committee. Depending on the nature of the academic deficiency, the categories above are not necessarily followed sequentially. A student whose status is anything other than good standing may be required to sign a learning contract and/or conform to other academic sanctions.

Students under academic warning or on probation, final probation or suspension must complete at least two successive quarters with no academic difficulty and fulfill all prescribed terms and conditions in order to qualify for a change of status. A change of status is the decision of the school/department Student Progress Committee and/or the dean or dean’s designee, who will notify the registrar’s office accordingly.

Academic standing notations appear on the advisor’s transcript for internal use but, with the exception of suspension and dismissal status, are excluded from external transcripts. The registrar receives copies of all communications with students concerning changes in academic standing for the purpose of maintaining student records.
