Special Students

Colleges, departments, or programs may have special grade point requirements for admission, continuation, or graduation. These are presented in connection with statements of college and department curriculum requirements.

Business: Students enrolled in the College of Business with 60 or more credits attempted or earned*, whichever is greater, will be placed on academic probation at the end of any semester when they earn less than a 2.00 grade point average for that semester. Students placed on academic probation under provisions of this requirement will be dismissed from enrollment in the College of Business if they fail to achieve, for the following semester, at least a 2.00 semester grade point average.

Summer term grades will be combined with the student’s grades for the prior term to compute a single semester grade point average to be used for academic probation and academic dismissal decisions. Credit hours and quality points will be combined for the purpose of obtaining the average. When courses are repeated, both grades will be used in this computation. Students considered for academic dismissal at the end of a spring semester under provisions of the preceding paragraphs will be permitted to enroll for the following summer session.

Students who are dismissed from the College of Business must seek admission to another college before the beginning of the following semester to stay enrolled in the university. Proof of admission to another college must be presented to the College of Business by the last business day before the beginning of the following semester. Students who fail to do so will be dismissed from the university.

Design: Students in the College of Design who have attempted* thirty (30) credits or more will be placed on academic probation at the end of any semester in which their cumulative grade point average falls below 2.00. Students placed on academic probation under the provisions of this requirement will be dismissed from enrollment in the college if they fail to achieve, for the following semester, at least a 2.00 grade point average for that semester.

Summer term grades will be combined with the student’s grades for the prior term to compute a single semester grade point average to be used for academic probation and academic dismissal decisions.

Students considered for academic dismissal at the end of a spring semester under provisions of the preceding paragraphs will be permitted to enroll for the following summer session.

Students who are dismissed from the College of Design must seek admission to another college before the beginning of the following semester to stay enrolled in the university.

Students placed on academic probation under provisions of this requirement will be dismissed from enrollment in the university if they fail to achieve, for the following semester, at least a 2.00 semester grade point average.

Summer term grades will be combined with the student’s grades for the prior term completed to form a single semester grade point average to be used for academic probation and academic dismissal decisions. Credit hours and quality points will be combined for the purpose of obtaining the average. When courses are repeated, both grades will be used in this computation.
