Student Handbook 2018-2019

Academic, Administrative, and Judicial Policies – Academic Policies Students who earn a grade of D+, D, F, or WF in a course at Flagler College may not repeat that course at another institution for purposes of transferring the grade or the credit back to Flagler College. No Flagler College course may be attempted more than three times; withdrawals (W, WP, WF) are counted as attempts.

A student receiving financial aid, a student athlete or an international student who considers repeating a course should contact the Office of Financial Aid to determine if he/she will earn sufficient hours for continued eligibility of that financial aid.

Dean’s List and President’s List: The Dean’s List and the President’s List are compiled in recognition of students achieving a certain standard of academic excellence. To qualify for the Dean’s List a student must complete at least 12 semester hours of letter-grade courses with a 3.4 grade point average and with no grade less than C- for the semester. Students who earn a 4.0 grade point average with at least 12 semester hours of graded credit are also named to the President’s List.

Academic Requirements for Continuation: Attendance at Flagler College is a privilege granted solely by the College. Enrollment for one semester or term in no way obligates or requires the College to extend or continue a student’s enrollment beyond the semester or term. At the conclusion of any semester or term, the College is at liberty to disallow a student to continue his or her enrollment.

Moreover, the College reserves the right to withdraw, dismiss or suspend at any time a student whose conduct is adjudged as inconsistent with the traditions, rules, standards and regulations of the College.

The following procedures are designed to ensure that students are making satisfactory academic progress toward a degree and are meeting the prescribed academic requirements for continuation.

Students at Flagler are required to maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better to remain in good academic standing. At the conclusion of each term, the Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs reviews the academic records of students whose semester average or cumulative average falls below a 2.0. The Associate Vice President considers the student’s cumulative grade point average, semester grade point average, number of semesters enrolled, current academic status, declared major, performance related to academic aptitude and performance related to the guidelines for continuation. After careful review and in light of his/her professional judgment, the Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs determines whether a student receives an academic warning, is placed on probation, is suspended, or is dismissed. Listed below are explanations of, and conditions for, the four types of action that can be taken by the Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs.

Warning: An academic warning is issued to students whose semester grade point average is below 2.0 and/or whose good academic standing is in jeopardy. Academic warning is a precautionary admonition that is meant to draw attention to a student’s unsatisfactory academic performance and to encourage renewed diligence in the pursuit of educational goals.

Probation: A student whose cumulative grade point average is below 2.0, or whose academic performance is judged to be of poor quality, will be placed on academic probation. Probation covers a stated trial period during which it will be determined whether the student is returned to good standing, remains on probation, is suspended, or is dismissed at the end of the probation period for failure to meet the stated academic standards.

Students placed on academic probation are expected to complete at least 12 semester hours and to achieve a 2.0 grade point average in the subsequent term. Other conditions for continuation may also be stipulated. For example, students may be required to repeat one or more courses in which they earned a grade of D+, D, or F. Students on probation are notified in writing of any continuation requirements that must be satisfied in the subsequent semester, and _________________________________________________________________________________ Flagler College Student Handbook 2018-2019 113
