A student is placed on academic suspension if he/she has not met the standards of academic progress within one trimester immediately following a term of academic warning status. Any student placed on academic suspension must meet with the Academic Affairs Committee (AAC) before continued enrollment can be considered. If continued enrollment is approved, the student will be placed on a status of academic probation. The student will remain on probation until they meet all academic progress criteria required in their academic plan.
U.S. Department of Education guidelines stipulate that the student must explain the special circumstance that caused them to fail to meet the minimum standards of academic progress, and the student must also explain what has changed that would now allow the student to regain good academic standing.
