Policy Committee (APC) Report
given to the

submitted by Jennifer Flory
The Committee met on Friday 09/04/2009 in Atkinson Hall
Room #208 at 12:30 PM. Next meeting will be 10/02/2009 at same location and
time.
Action Items:
The Committee recommended by unanimous vote to proposed the
following two motions to the University Senate for consideration:
Undergraduate
Academic Standing Policy
We propose the following revision to
the undergraduate Academic Standing Policy:
A student will remain on academic probation for more than one
semester if
1) the student is enrolled in eight or fewer hours for the term in
which he or she is on academic probation, and
2) the student earns grades of C or higher in all classes in which
he or she enrolled, and
3) the student's institutional GPA remains under the required level
for good standing.
In this case, the student will remain on academic probation (with
restricted enrollment) and not proceed to academic dismissal.
Note: This change would apply only to those students on the new(er)
academic standing rules, which went into effect in Fall 2006.
Students on academic probation who enroll in eight or fewer hours
would still be able to proceed to good standing if their
institutional GPA rises to the level required for good standing.
This policy would go into effect with the 2010-2011 catalog, and
would be first applied at the end of Summer 2010. |

Graduate
Academic Standing Policy
A graduate student will be placed on
graduate academic probation if the student's institutional graduate
grade point average falls below a 3.00 at any point during his or
her graduate studies.
Each department that has a graduate program will develop a policy
for progression in its graduate program, which it will publish in
the Graduate Catalog. Students who fail to meet the requirements for
progression in the graduate program will be placed on graduate
academic dismissal, and will not be allowed to continue in the
graduate program. All department decisions to place a student on
graduate academic dismissal must be filed with the Registrar before
the end of the add/drop period of the following semester of
enrollment. In order to be considered for readmission to the
program, the student must successfully petition the graduate program
coordinator and the Dean of the College in which his or her program
resides. |
