Health Services; in the case of mental health issues, the documentation must be provided to the Counseling Center. Each request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The directors of health services and counseling center provide verification of the illness to each faculty member, who may, if the facts merit it, make adjustments to course requirements. In cases where a significant portion of coursework has been missed and it may be difficult to make up all the coursework, students should confer with the Dean of Students Affairs or designee or a representative in the Registrar’s Office to consider their various options.
academic Programs Descriptions of all academic programs are presented in depth in the University Undergraduate Catalog and on the university Web site.
academic standings Policy Undergraduate students (matriculated; part-time or full-time) achieving a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better are in good standing. Students with a GPA less than 2.0 will be placed on academic probation. A student’s GPA is determined by the number of GPA hours for which the student received a grade of “A”, “B”,“C”, “D”, or “F”. A student is placed on non-matriculated status and can no longer be enrolled as a full-time student if he or she: • has attempted at least 30 credits and does not have a GPA of 1.5 or greater; or • has attempted at least 45 credits and does not have a GPA of 1.8 or greater; or • has attempted at least 60 credits and does not have a GPA of 2.0 or greater. A student who holds academic deficient status may enroll on a part-time basis as a nonmatriculated student. A student who was in good standing while attempting the 60 credits, but later fails to maintain a 2.0 GPA will be given one semester on probation to raise it to 2.0. A student placed on non-matriculated status may submit a written appeal to the Academic Standings Committee through the Registrar’s Office. The committee will decide whether the student has a reasonable chance to achieve the required GPA within one additional semester and, if so, may reinstate the student to probationary status. The decision of the Academic Standings Committee may be appealed in writing to Office of Academic Affairs, Engleman A210 prior to the first day of classes. Academic Affairs will then make a final decision before the end of the add/drop period.
application for readmission A student who officially withdrew from the University in good standing and has not attended any other colleges or universities should apply to the Registrar’s Office in the Wintergreen Building for readmission. A student who has been academically dismissed may apply for readmission for full-time status at the end of the semester that he or she has attained at the least probationary status. Application is made through the Registrar’s Office by completing an application for full-time readmission. Readmission does not assure acceptance by the department of
