Academic Probation & Suspension Table
Both the term and the institution GPA are based on the completion of grades A, B, C, D, or F at San Jacinto College.
A student's academic status is calculated at the end of each fall, spring, and summer term.
Good Standing
All students are expected to maintain an overall institution GPA of 2.0 or higher.
At the conclusion of each term of enrollment, the student will remain in good standing if either of the following is true:
- If the overall institution GPA is 2.0 or greater when the grades from the recently completed term are included.
- If no graders of A, B, C, D, or F are reported for the term, there will be no recalculation of the overall institution GPA.
Academic Warning
At the end of the first term in which the overall institution GPA is less than 2.0, the student will be placed on academic warning status.
At the end of any term in which the student was on academic warning status, these are the possibilities:
- If the overall institution GPA is 2.0 or higher, the student's status will revert to good standing.
- If the overall institution GPA is less than 2.0, the student will be placed on academic probation.
Academic Probation
At the end of any term in which the student's overall institution GPA falls below 2.0, the student will be placed on academic probation.
At the end of any term in which the student was on academic probation, these are the possibilities:
- If the overall institution GPA is 2.0 or higher, the student's academic status will revert to good standing.
- If the overall institution GPA is less than 2.0, but the GPA for the recently completed term is 2.0 or better, the student will remain on academic probation.
- If both the student's overall institution GPA and the GPA from the recently completed term fall below 2.0, the student will be placed on academic suspension.
Note: Students will remain on academic probation after each term in which his/her overall institution GPA is less than 2.0, even though the most recent term GPA may be 2.0 or higher.
Academic Suspension
At the end of any term in which both the student's overall institution GPA and his/her GPA from that just completed term fall below 2.0, the student will be placed on academic suspension.
Students on academic suspension will not be eligible to re-enroll until one term has passed. (See the section titled Appeals for Reinstatement During Suspension.)
Students on academic suspension will be required to meet with a counselor prior to re-enrollment.
Note: If at the end of any term with the overall institution GPA is recalcuated a student's status reaches good standing, the sequence begins over. For example, if the student has been on academic warning but then raised his/her status to good standing, then the next term in which the overall institution GPA falls below 2.0, the student will again be placed on academic warning status.
