Program Dismissals

Students must meet the requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) to continue enrollment and eligibility for financial aid. Some academic majors/programs have additional requirements and a higher SAP threshold than the institutional standard for academic progress due to their professional accreditation.  These programs and divisions regularly meet to assess student progress and academic standing using their program or division’s policies.

If an undergraduate student is not meeting program degree requirements, the Division Chair and/or faculty of the division may take one of the following actions:  issue an academic warning, place the student on divisional probation, or dismiss the student from the program. If a graduate student is not meeting program degree requirements, the Division Chair and/or faculty of the division may issue an academic warning, place the student on divisional probation, dismiss the student from the program, and/or recommend that the student be administratively withdrawn from the College.

In the instances where students are dismissed from the program and/or administratively withdrawn from the College, due to no longer meeting requirements of their program, they are immediately withdrawn from their program courses and may not complete current major courses or register for additional courses within their major program. 

All students can see the requirements of their specific program within the College Catalog. Students are ultimately responsible for satisfying the requirements of their program.
