academic dean (or designee). Probation may affect financial aid. Students on probation are not permitted to:
● Register for more than 15 credit hours per semester unless they receive approval from the associate dean of their college (or designee).
● Hold an elected or appointed office in any student organization. Probation does not affect membership in a student organization
● Participate in the Cooperative Education Program unless approved by the Academic Standing Committee.
● Academic probation may affect a student's eligibility to participate in varsity athletic sports.
Students who are enrolled in a dual degree program and are placed on academic probation must schedule a meeting with the Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs.
Students who are on academic probation for two consecutive semesters are candidates for academic suspension from Illinois Tech.
The progress of non-degree students also is reviewed, and any student who does not maintain good academic standing is subject to being placed on probation or academic suspension. A student placed on academic suspension by Illinois Tech may petition the Academic Standing Committee to review the suspension. The student must present substantial academic or other relevant new evidence not available at the time of suspension in support of the petition for reinstatement. The chair of the Academic Standing Committee will determine whether the new documentation warrants a further review of the case.
2. Graduate Students: A student whose cumulative GPA falls below 3.0/4.0 is no longer in good standing and must petition the Office of Academic Affairs for permission for provisional enrollment by submitting Form G702 Graduate Probation Contract. Probationary students who receive “E” grades will be required to repeat courses, subject to the limits specified within this bulletin, to improve the cumulative and/or program GPA. Registration is restricted to nine credit hours during the probationary period, until the student is returned to good academic standing.
Dismissal will occur when a student fails to make the requisite academic progress during the probationary period. Students may not register for a co-op while on academic probation. If a student’s GPA in their program is below 3.0, then graduate courses (approved by the adviser, academic unit, and Academic Affairs) may be added to the program until the corresponding GPA is at least 3.0.
D. Advising
Each undergraduate student is assigned a faculty academic advisor who is available to discuss opportunities and career plans in the student’s chosen field and to plan and approve coursework to meet departmental and university requirements.
Department advisers and advisers in the Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs are also available to answer questions and interpret policies regarding university requirements and academic procedures.
A graduate student is required to complete any necessary forms with the approval of the appropriate staff of the Office of Academic Affairs. Special advisors are available to counsel undergraduates on preparation for entry into advanced programs in law, medicine, and education. Special advisors will be assigned to students working in combined undergraduate/graduate degree programs with the associated medical schools, Chicago-Kent College of Law, the Graduate College or Stuart School of Business. Stuart School of Business graduate students are assigned academic advisors from the Stuart Office of Academic Advising. It is the sole responsibility of the student to know, understand, and satisfy all departmental, college, and university academic requirements relevant to their degree.
