If a student fails to achieve satisfactory academic standing for two consecutive semesters (or three consecutive quarters), the student is dismissed from the University because of poor scholarship. Any student dismissed for poor scholarship may submit a written appeal to the Committee on Academic Standing for a one-term reinstatement. Criteria that the Committee on Academic Standing will consider include the student’s current term GPA, cumulative GPA, the student’s explanation for the prior GPA and plans to remedy the situation.
