Academic probation is a statement that the student’s academic performance is below the standard required for graduation and/or adequate progress toward graduation from The College. A student whose cumulative grade point average (for work done at The College) falls below the following standards at the end of any semester will be placed on academic probation:
Semester Credit Hours
|
Earned Cumulative GPA
|
0 - 23
|
1.60
|
24 - 53
|
1.80
|
54 and over
|
2.00
|
Ottawa University reserves the right to suspend any student whose semester GPA falls below 1.00. For transfer students, the cumulative grade point average is calculated on the basis of all courses on the student’s transcript; however, it should be remembered that transfer students must attain at least a 2.00 cumulative GPA in courses taken at The College.
A student who fails, for more than one semester, to earn at least 75 percent of The College’s semester credit hours for which he/she enrolled is placed on academic probation.
