Academic Probation and Dismissal Policy
Students are expected to perform at an academic level which leads to their graduation. A minimum of a C average (2.00 GPA) is required for graduation, and students whose grades reflect they are not making satisfactory academic progress are placed on academic probation or are academically dismissed.
Academic Probation
This is a warning to students that their grade-point average has fallen below college standards. Academic probation is determined by the number of hours attempted and the cumulative grade-point average. Consult the Summary Chart for Academic Probation and Dismissal for exact information. Students can continue to enroll at the College as long as their GPA does not fall below the probation requirements.
Academic Dismissal
Students with cumulative grade-point averages that have fallen below probation levels are academically dismissed for one semester and asked to reconsider and re-evaluate their career plans. Students who sit out for one semester may petition for reinstatement. Reinstatement forms are available in the Admissions and Records Office. Each reinstatement form is considered individually by the Committee on Reinstatement and Evaluation.
Students reinstated at the College are placed on probation for one semester and must show academic improvement to continue taking classes. Students academically dismissed three (3) times are not eligible to re-enroll at the College.
Students are placed on academic probation because of exceedingly low grades. A student's academic work is evaluated on cumulative hours attempted as illustrated in the Probation and Dismissal chart listed below.
The Probation and Dismissal Chart is based on a student's cumulative grade point average, including all previous college work.
Students will be permitted to enroll on probation as long as their cumulative G.P.A. does not fall below the probation requirements. Once a student's cumulative G.P.A. falls below probation requirements, the student will be academically dismissed for one semester. After sitting out for one semester, students may petition for reinstatement. Reinstatement forms are available in the Admissions Office.
Students are not allowed to re-enroll at KCKCC after their third academic dismissal.
