SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS In order to achieve satisfactory academic progress, a student must maintain a 2.0 (C) semester grade point average and must complete two-thirds of attempted credits during each academic year. For details, please refer to the College Academic Catalog.
Academic Probation If a student receives below a 2.0 in any semester, he or she will be placed on probation for the following semester. During this first probationary semester, the student must not receive any grades of INC. In addition, the student may not participate in an intercollegiate sports program or be involved in a leadership position in student activities.
Academic Leave/Dismissal If the student fails to achieve satisfactory academic progress at the end of the first probationary semester, the student will be dismissed from the College.

STUDY ABROAD Students may spend a summer, semester or academic year studying in another country. Typically, a student enrolls as a member of a regularly organized study group under the auspices of an American institution acceptable to Emmanuel College. Students who wish to follow such a program must give evidence of serious interest, ability, and general maturity. Interested students should contact the Office of International Programs (studyabroad@emmanuel.edu) where the director will help the student identify and apply to the most appropriate program for their goals. Information sessions are held several times a month throughout the school year and are open to all students. Check the portal for updates. All program applications must be signed by the Director of International Programs, who will guide the student in obtaining proper internal course approvals. Students who do not obtain program and course approvals prior to applying may not receive credit. Students must have a minimum GPA of 2.50 to be eligible to study abroad, not have a disciplinary record for at least the semester preceding the period of study abroad, not be on academic or disciplinary probation at the time of application and/or departure, and be in good financial standing. Applications for the first semester or for an entire year should be completed by March 15, those for second semester by October 15, and by April 15 for summer study (regardless of program deadlines). Credit will not be given for any grade below a “C�, and will be accepted as transfer credit only. Grades earned abroad will thus not be included in the Emmanuel GPA. Federal and state financial aid and private loans can often be used for study abroad expenses provided all consortium paperwork is completed with the Office of Student Financial Services. Institutional aid cannot be used towards study abroad expenses; however students with questions regarding payment options for Study Abroad expenses can meet with the Office of Student Financial Services. The international programs office also has information on external study abroad scholarships 13
