Academic Probation
All students on academic probation may be limited to a maximum academic load of 13 semester hours of work, exclusive of physical education activity. Students with 5-10 semester hours will be place on academic probation if their grade point average is less than 1.25.
Students with 11-28 semester hours will be placed on academic probation if their cumulative grade point average is less than 1.50. They'll be placed on academic suspension if their cumulative grade point average is less than 1.25.
Students with 29-42 semester hours will be placed on academic probation if their cumulative grade point average is less than 1.75. They'll be placed on academic suspension if their cumulative grade point average is less than 1.50.
Students with more than 43 semester hours will be placed on academic probation if their cumulative grade point average is less than 2.0. They'll be placed on academic suspension if their cumulative grade point average is less than 1.75.
Academic Suspension
When a student is suspended from Glen Oaks, he or she may not attend classes the following semester. After not attending class for one semester, the student may re-enter Glen Oaks Community College only after developing an academic strategy with a counselor. Any student suspended for academic reasons may petition the Academic Review Board for reinstatement. Normally a student who has been suspended may be re-admitted under academic probation after one semester of suspension.
When a suspended student returns after a semester (or has been reinstated by the Academic Review Board), a new grade point average will be calculated, beginning with that current semester for the purpose of evaluating suspension status. This new suspension status does not affect the grade point average found on the transcript or the grade point average requirement for graduation.
Note: This probation and suspension policy does not apply to nursing students since they need to receive a 2.0 GPA or better in each course.
