If an appeal is denied, thestudent may then follow DUE PROCESS PROCEDURES as outlined in the StudentHandbook.Academic Probation Academic probation officially recognizes that a student is making unsatisfactoryprogress and is in need of help. Academic probation is designed to serve a four-foldpurpose: to indicate that the quality of academic achievement is below the standardsrequired in progressing satisfactorily toward graduation or transfer, to make clear toall concerned of the shortcomings of a student’s performance, to provide occasionfor necessary counseling, and to give students opportunity to demonstrate adequateperformance.Academic Probation Regulations 1. Students whose term grade point average at the end of any semester is below a 1.75. 2. Students currently on probation whose term grade point average is below a 2.0 willremain on academic probation.
