a. The entering student has a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 in a high school curriculum which offers at least 14 academic courses in the subject areas prescribed in the entrance requirements. b. The entering student has a minimum composite score of 18 on the ACT assessment.
Grade Point Average and Eligibility 1. The following are the minimum semester and cumulative grade point averages necessary to be a student in good standing. Sem. II - 1.80 Sem. I - 1.70 Sem. III -1.90 Sem. IVff - 2.00
An entering special student or freshman who does not meet these requirements shall remain ineligible until the student's semester and cumulative grade point averages at Martin Luther College establish eligibility.
2. A student on probation must become a student in good standing by the end of the next semester of attendance. If the student fails to gain this status, the student is required to withdraw. Application for readmittance is considered after a lapse of one semester. (A student required to withdraw at the end of the second semester is ineligible to attend the subsequent summer session.)
7. The academic standing of transfer students is determined by applying Martin Luther College's standards (see #1 above) to the grade point averages on the applicant's transcript. For example, a transfer student who has been enrolled in a full-time academic program for four or more semesters needs a grade point average, semester and cumulative, of 2.00 or better to enter Martin Luther College in good standing. A student who enters on academic probation is ineligible at Martin Luther College until the student's grade point averages meet the level of good standing.
3. A student on probation discusses with his/her advisor the desirability of reducing the student's course load as an aid in regaining good standing. If the course load is reduced, consultation between the student and advisor and the advice of the Records Office determines the course(s) to be dropped. In the interest of the student as well as in the interest of maintaining proper academic standards, a student on probation also discusses with his/her advisor the extent of extracurricular activities and outside employment.
8. A low cumulative grade point average may affect financial aid eligibility. See the Financial Aid section of this catalog for more information.
4. Credits and grade points earned in residence during a summer session are added to those earned during the last semester of the student's attendance. They may apply toward the removal of an academic probation status.
GRADING SYSTEM A AB+ B BC+ C CD+ D DE
5. Eligibility for extracurricular activities requires the minimum grade point average (GPA) for a student in good standing. As stated in # 1 above, the required GP A is the same for both the semester and the cumulative. A list of Martin Luther College activities which require eligibility appears in the Knight's Daybook. 6. An entering special student or freshman who is a high school graduate with no previous full-time college attendance shall be considered eligible for extracurricular activities provided that the student meets the following two academic requirements:
