A student will be placed on academic warning if the student’s term GPA falls below 2.0. Students who are
placed on academic warning should meet with their Student Success Advisor to ensure they are making
adequate progress towards their degree.
A student will be placed on academic probation if the student’s cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 or the
student does not complete 67% of the credits attempted. In addition, the student will be required to meet
with their Student Success Advisor to complete an Academic Progress Plan prior to the beginning of the
semester.
If the student fails to attain a 2.0 cumulative GPA or 67% completion of attempted credits and/or fails to
meet other parameters designed in the Academic Progress Plan for any probation semester, they will be
suspended from enrollment at GCC for a period of one semester unless the advisor recommends
otherwise.
Students who have been placed on academic suspension have the right to appeal their status if there are
extenuating circumstances for not meeting the standards of academic progress. The appeal must be filed
with the Vice President of Students Services by the deadline provided in the suspension letter. The Student
Appeals committee will review the appeal.
Students that are approved for an appeal will be placed on academic probation for the next term and will
be required to meet the 2.0 GPA and/or complete 67% of the credit hours attempted for that term.
Students will remain on academic probation until they have reached the required Overall 2.0 GPA and 67%
completion rate.
A student who has been academically suspended may apply for reinstatement after the suspension
semester and will be placed on academic probation for the term in which they return.
Guest students are not subject to the same Standards of Academic Progress. Guest students should work
with their home institutions to ensure they are making satisfactory academic progress.
