Academic Standards
Undergraduate Catalog 2006-2008 PRINT PAGE
A student will be placed on academic probation whenever his/her cumulative grade point average falls below 2.00.
A student once placed on probation remains on probation until his/her grade point deficit is erased. A student on probation who does not make at least a 2.00 average during a semester shall be suspended for one semester. A student who has returned on probation following a period of academic suspension or who has been reinstated by the Admissions and Adjustments Committee shall earn at least a 2.00 average each semester while on probation in order to continue as a student. A second suspension will be for one calendar year. If a student is suspended for a combination of three times for academic reasons at this institution or any other, he/she will be dismissed from the university.
Summer school is not considered in the application of probation, suspension, or reinstatement.
A transfer student will not be admitted who is not eligible to enroll at the institution of higher learning previously attended or who submits a record below the minimum requirements of Henderson.
All letter grades and hours of courses scheduled will be used to compute averages except as described in the section entitled "Repetition of Courses.''
A student will not be dropped for academic reasons without having been placed on probation or admitted on probation/condition. A student placed on probation (or one already on probation) may continue in school if his or her cumulative average at the end of the subsequent semester will remove the student from probation, or if his or her semester average for the subsequent semester is 2.00 or above.
A student who is suspended may appeal to the Admissions and Adjustments Committee for earlier re entry, and a student who is dismissed may appeal for re admission.
