Academic Probation/Suspension
Any student who earns a quarterly grade point average of less than 2.0 will be placed on academic probation. To be removed from academic probation, a student must earn a quarterly grade point average of 2.0 or better during the next quarter of attendance. A student who does not achieve a quarterly grade point average of 2.0 or above while on academic probation will be suspended.

Readmission from Probation/Suspension
A student who has been academically suspended from a program of study will be eligible to reapply for admission after one quarter.
