Students will be held to the standards regarding academic standing that are listed below. Preparatory and/or developmental coursework will be used to determine academic standing. However, these courses are NOT included in the GPA displayed on the official transcript.
Academic Alert
Students will be placed on Academic Alert if their cumulative GPAs fall below 2.0 (provided their semester GPAs do not fall below 1.5). Students on Academic Alert will receive a letter with a listing of various campus resources for improving their academic performance. In addition, it is recommended that these students work with their academic advisors to improve their progress toward graduation.
Academic Probation
Students will be placed on academic probation for one semester if their cumulative GPAs fall below 2.0 and their semester GPAs fall below 1.5 (provided the cumulative GPA does not fall below the requirement for enrollment). Students on academic probation must obtain a advisor’s approval in order to register and will be limited to a maximum of 13 credits. Any student registered for the upcoming semester that is placed on academic probation for the current semester, must attend a mandatory advising session. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation of the student’s schedule.
Academic Suspension
Students will be placed on academic suspension for a semester if their semester GPAs are below 2.0 and their cumulative GPAs are in one of the following categories:
|
Credits Attempted
|

Academic suspension will prevent students from registering at the College until the end of the next fall or spring semester. Students who are academically suspended may submit an Academic Standing Appeal Form available under Requested Documents on their MyBC3 to the Dean of Admissions and College Registrar to continue their studies. All appeals are subject to review by the Committee on Readmission.
Academic Dismissal
Students will be dismissed if they have attempted 36 credits or more and have semester GPAs below 2.0 and cumulative GPAs below 1.5. Dismissal is permanent unless the student submits an Academic Standing Appeal form available under Requested Documents on their MyBC3 to the Dean of Admissions and College Registrar for review by the Committee on Readmission.
