Dismissal from the University

If you remain on academic probation for two quarters, you may be dismissed from the university for unsatisfactory academic performance. Also, if you enroll in developmental education courses and do not successfully complete more than one-half of the course work over three quarters, you will be subject to dismissal. Dismissal action is taken by the chief academic officer of the college, school, or division to which you are assigned in consultation with the head of the respective program unit or the academic advisor. In taking dismissal action, the academic officer will generally consider the progress toward meeting degree requirements as well as overall academic performance.

Notice of dismissal from the university will be sent to you by the chief academic officer of the college, school, or division to which you are assigned.

Graduate students who were granted admission on conditional status, were admitted in nondegree status, or who were placed on probationary status, are subject to dismissal from the School of Graduate Studies and their academic program if, while in that status, they did not complete the first 12 hours of graduate course work with a 3.0 cumulative graduate GPA. In addition, at the completion of one year of graduate work or 24 credit hours, whichever comes first, each student will be evaluated by the program faculty. This evaluation will be based upon performance in courses, research, and seminars and will be forwarded to the graduate dean. On the basis of the evaluation, a student will be: (1) recommended for continuance in the graduate program; (2) placed on probationary status; (3) required to discontinue graduate study at this university. Students will be notified of any dismissal action by a notice on their grade reports and by letter from the School of Graduate Studies.
