Academic Status will be determined as follows:
Good Standing — A student who ends a semester with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher is considered in Good Standing.
Academic Notice — A student whose cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 will be placed on Academic Notice. It is highly recommended that a student on Academic Notice meet with a success coach who will assist the student in identifying and implementing successful practices.
Academic Alert — A student who is on Academic Notice but fails to earn a cumulative 2.0 GPA for the next enrolled semester will be placed on Academic Alert. These students will be required to contact their assigned advisor to register for classes. The college recommends that Academic Alert students take no more than 9 credit hours. A student’s success coach will continue to assist in identifying and implementing successful practices.
Academic Recovery — A student who is on Academic Alert but fails to earn a cumulative 2.0 GPA for the next enrolled semester will have two success options:
1.The student may decide to register for classes with the help of the Center for Student Advocacy. The college recommends that Academic Recovery students take no more than 8 credit hours. The student’s success coach will continue to assist in identifying and implementing successful practices. OR
2.The student may decide to take the semester off. The student will be invited to an exit interview with the Center for Student Advocacy where a plan will be developed to help the student remain engaged with the college during the semester off and to help the student reenter when ready.
Academic Suspension — A student who is on Academic Recovery but fails to earn a cumulative 2.0 GPA for the next enrolled semester will be suspended from the college and will not be allowed to enroll for the next semester. The student will be invited to an exit interview with the Center for Student Advocacy where a plan will be developed to help the student remain engaged with the college during the semester off and to help the student reenter when ready. Upon return to the college, the student will be required to meet with the Center for Student Advocacy.

Dropping, Adding & Withdrawing from Courses
Students may drop courses during the add/drop period for each course; students may add courses during the same period only before the class actually meets. Courses dropped during this period will not appear on the transcript. Students who withdraw from a course prior to the withdrawal deadline will earn a grade of W for that course, and the W will be reflected on the transcript. Refer to the college refund policy for information concerning refunds.
Students should not assume that they will be administratively withdrawn if they stop attending classes. It is the student’s responsibility to complete the process to withdraw from a course or courses prior to the published withdrawal deadline. Students may withdraw from any or all courses either electronically or through the Office of Student Records. Some students such as transient and career development students must complete the withdrawal process through the Office of Student Records.
Any hold on a student’s account (due to fines owed or similar obligations to the college) will prevent a student from withdrawing electronically.
The dates for add, drop and withdrawal are tied to the particular session code and class section number as well as the start and end dates for a course. For example, a student who withdraws from a first-session course and adds a second-session course will incur tuition charges for the second-session course.
