² Probation/Continued Probation: Continuance may be issued to a maximum of 3 consecutive terms. (1 probation + 2 continued probations = 3). Probation/Continued Probation does not appear on the academic record. (Continuance of continued probation: 1 semester earned prob + 1 semester earned continued probation + 1 semester continued probation + final attempt)
³ Suspension Appeal: If suspended, a student may appeal. Suspension appeals are noted on the official academic record after the specific term as a continuance approved by Academic Standards with the date of approval.
NOTE: An automatic Adviser Hold is to be put on the records of all students who are placed on probation, continued probation, or suspension. (A Registrar’s Hold is applied to students appealing.) A student is required to complete the appealed term with a term and cum GPA at or above the minimum required for the student’s classification.
