ACADEMIC SUSPENSION At the end of a semester on Academic Warning, students not meeting the cumulative GPA requirements stated above will be moved to Academic Suspension and will not be allowed to enroll at OCC for one semester. Students will be notified in writing from the Registrar’s Office. ACADEMIC RE-ADMITTANCE Students returning to OCC after an Academic Suspension must provide written evidence which demonstrates they will achieve academic success. This written evidence must be presented to the Admissions Director. Upon approval for re-admittance on Academic Warning, the student will be permitted to take a maximum class load of 13 semester hours and will be required to attend tutoring sessions and a series of academic skills workshops. ACADEMIC PROBATION Students who experience a significant life circumstance during the semester on Academic Warning (personal injury, illness, the death of a relative, or other special circumstances) may appeal, in writing, to the Academic Dean’s Office. Appeals will be considered by a probationary committee and must include the following written requirements: •
A description of why the student failed to make satisfactory academic progress.
•
A statement of what has changed in the student’s situation that will allow him/her to make satisfactory academic progress by the next evaluation.
Academic Probation will be granted after a successful appeal and may include a revised academic plan. DISCIPLINARY SUSPENSION If a student is suspended for disciplinary reasons within the first ten weeks of the semester for residential courses or the fifth week of a course for online courses, the student will be withdrawn from school. After the tenth week of all residential courses or fifth week of online course module, all grades will be “F.”
