Academic Warning/Probation/Suspension/Leave
A student shall be placed on Academic Warning at the end of the first term in which they have earned less than a 2.0 cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA). Students shall be placed on Academic Probation at the end of the second consecutive term in which they have earned less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA. Students shall be placed on Academic Suspension at the end of the third consecutive term in which they have earned less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA. Students will be placed on Academic Leave at the end of any subsequent term following suspension in which their term GPA is below a 2.0. Only grades of A, B, C, D, and F will be included in these GPA calculations. Students who are placed on Academic Warning, Probation, Suspension or Leave will be notified in writing through their Rivermail student email account.
Students who are placed on Academic Probation will not be permitted to enroll in further coursework until they meet with their assigned academic advisor. A hold will be placed on the student’s record that prevents registration until they complete the required discussion with their assigned academic advisor.
Students who are placed on Academic Suspension will not be permitted to enroll for one term (Fall, Spring, Summer Session A or B) following the term in which they were suspended. Students on Academic Suspension already registered for the upcoming term will be informed that their courses have been dropped due to their academic standing.
Once suspended a student may apply to be reinstated in order to enroll in coursework after the completion of their suspension term. To request reinstatement the student must meet with their assigned academic advisor and submit a Request for Reinstatement After Academic Suspension form, no later than 30 days prior to the first day of classes in the term they are requesting reinstatement. Approval requires an advisor's signature and the signature of the Associate Vice President of Advising and Career Services, Advising Director or a Campus Director. Students who are approved for academic reinstatement are limited to taking six credit hours per term.
Students shall be placed on Academic Reinstatement if their request is approved and will have a Reinstatement Hold placed on their record to prevent online registration. They will be required to see their assigned academic advisor in order to register and will also be required to maintain a term GPA of 2.0 or higher for each subsequent semester of enrollment. If the term GPA for any semester following suspension is below a 2.0 they will be placed on Academic Leave and will not be permitted to enroll in coursework for three consecutive terms (Fall, Spring, Summer Session A or B). Students placed on Academic Leave already registered for the upcoming term will be informed that their courses have been dropped due to their academic standing.
Students who are placed on Academic Leave may apply for academic reinstatement after the completion of three consecutive semesters on Academic Leave. To request reinstatement the student must meet with their assigned academic advisor and submit a Request for Reinstatement After Academic Leave form, no later than 30 days prior to the first day of classes in the term they are requesting reinstatement. Students who are approved for academic reinstatement are limited to taking six credit hours per term.
Students shall be placed on Academic Reinstatement if their request for readmission is approved and will have a Reinstatement Hold placed on their record to prevent registration. They will be required to see an advisor in order to register and will also be required to maintain a term GPA of 2.0 or higher for each subsequent semester of enrollment. If the GPA for any term of enrollment following Academic Leave is below a 2.0 they will return to Academic Suspension standing and will not be permitted to enroll for one term.
