The following guidelines should be used for Math:
For students that have taken MAT 095, the “repeat” course should be / MAT 111 or MAT 171 / MAT 101.
For students that have taken MAT 096, the “repeat” course should be / MAT 111 or MAT 171 / MAT 101.
For students that have taken MAT 097, the “repeat” course should be MAT 115 or MAT 176 / MAT 115A.
For students that have taken MAT 115, the “repeat” course should be MAT 115 or MAT 176 / MAT 115A.
If the MAT 095, MAT 096, MAT 097 and/or MAT 115 grade(s) is/are higher than the corresponding “repeat” course grade(s), the higher MAT 095, MAT 096, MAT 097 and/or MAT 115 grade(s) and the corresponding “repeat” course grades(s) should be counted toward the GPA. The “repeat” course grade(s) should always count toward the GPA whether higher or not.
Students who had not successfully completed MUS 099 will use their grade for MUS 112 as the Repeat Option grade if it is higher. If not, both grades will count toward the GPA as delineated above with English and Math.
The University encourages high standards of academic excellence and acknowledges students' academic achievement. An Academic Honor Roll and Dean's List are published at the end of each academic semester. A student who earns 12 or more semester credit hours for which quality points are awarded and whose grade point average is 3.2 or better, will be included on the Dean's List. Part-time (at least one-half time) students are given special recognition for academic achievement. Students enrolled in 6 to 11 semester credit hours in which quality points are earned and whose grade point average is 3.2 or better, will be included on the Academic Honor Roll.
Good Academic Standing
In order to remain in good academic standing, a student must have a cumulative grade-point average of:
1. 1.7 or better for 12–29 attempted semester credit hours which count for quality points; 2. 2.0 Or better for 30 or more attempted semester hours which count for quality points;
Students who fail to maintain the above cumulative grade-point averages will be placed on academic probation for one semester. Probation may not be appealed.
Any student who fails to maintain a semester grade-point average of 2.0 while on academic probation will be placed on academic suspension and must remain out of the University for the next semester (fall or spring).
A student must receive a grade of C or better in all college preparatory and remedial courses and in all courses numbered below the 100 level in three or fewer attempts (first attempt and two repeats), or he/she is suspended from the University. An under-prepared (Pre-College Curriculum-deficient) student must also demonstrate proficiency in the area(s) of academic deficiency by the time he/she completes 45 semester credit hours at the University, or he/she is suspended from the University. A student must receive a grade of C or better in ENG 101 and 102, and a grade of D or better in the other Liberal Studies courses (the general education core) in three or fewer attempts or he/she is suspended from the University.
A student who has been re-admitted after suspension or dismissal and who fails to meet the conditions of his or her reinstatement shall be dismissed from the University.
A student who has been suspended twice and whose current grade-point average falls below 2.0 is dismissed from the University and must remain out of the University for one year.
A student, who has been granted academic bankruptcy after a period of suspension and who subsequently becomes liable for suspension, will be dismissed from the University.
A student, who has been re-admitted after suspension or dismissal and who fails to meet the conditions of his/her reinstatement, shall be dismissed from the University.
Removal from Major, Minor, or Area of Specialization
A student who fails to receive a grade of C or better in three or fewer attempts (first attempt and two repeats) in all courses in a major area, area of specialization, or minor area may be removed from that program. The student must petition the department chair of his/her major or the Vice President of Academic Affairs and request a 4th attempt at a course.
