Academic Probation Policy

Any student whose grade point index is below a 2.0 will be placed on academic probation. Students placed on academic probation will be notified by the college. To remove probationary status, students must achieve a 2.0 GPI in the following semester. Any student who has two consecutive semesters of a GPI below a 2.0 will be academically dismissed from the College but they will be allowed a transitional semester as an undeclared student to raise their GPA to transfer to another college within the University or elsewhere. If, at the end of that semester, they are unable to successfully transfer, they will be dismissed from the University. Please make an appointment with Heather Nicholson through the SASS Office, Rom 207 at (617) 353-2713 to discuss your status.

No student on probation may hold office in any college or university organization, participate in any intercollegiate event or program, including athletics, or otherwise represent the university or college. A student on probation is not excluded from membership in a student organization.

A student on probation may be ineligible to receive financial aid from the university or college.

A letter is sent to each student informing him/her of academic probation status. Copies of this letter are sent to the faculty advisor and parents, and it is recorded at the Registrar’s Office on the University Record System. Students on probation are encouraged to seek advice from an academic counselor at the college.

A student is permitted only two consecutive semesters of a GPI below a 2.0.

This decision can be appealed and a formal petition can be submitted to the College Academic Policies and Procedures Committee. Make an appointment with Debbie Claar in the SASS Office, Room 207 to discuss these procedures.
