55.6 Academic Standing and Graduation

55.6.1 Determination of Academic Standing

    Academic standing is assessed based on a student’s GPA. (Rules for computing the GPA are listed in §23.4.) Students are expected to maintain a 2.0 minimum GPA. Students who do not maintain this level of academic performance may be permitted to continue under academic warning or may be required to withdraw.

    The assignment and reassignment of academic standing is based on a student’s performance in a minimum of *12. If, at the time of review, the student has attempted fewer than *12 since the last assignment of academic standing, there will be a program review, but the assessment of academic standing will be deferred and the academic standing assigned at the last review will remain in effect until the next review

    A review of academic performance is conducted for each student at the end of each Fall/Winter, based on all courses completed during Fall/Winter. In addition, any courses taken during the preceding Spring/Summer will be included in the review. Students whose assessment was deferred at the last review will be assessed on the cumulative results of all courses completed since their last academic standing assignment.

55.6.2 Implications of Academic Standing

(1)

First-Class standing and the Dean’s List: First-class standing in a given year is awarded to any undergraduate student who obtains a GPA of at least 3.5, the GPA to be computed on a minimum of *24 taken during Fall/Winter. Students who attend in only one term of the Fall/Winter are eligible if they complete at least *12 with a minimum GPA of 3.5. Dean’s List: This designation is given to students who achieve a GPA of at least 3.7 on a minimum of *18 in Fall/Winter. Students who attend for only one term of Fall/Winter are eligible if they complete at least *9 with a minimum GPA of 3.7.

(2)

Satisfactory Standing: Satisfactory standing is given to a student who achieves a GPA of at least 2.0. Students with satisfactory standing are academically eligible to continue studies in Augustana Faculty.

(3)

Marginal standing: Marginal standing is given to a student who achieves a GPA of 1.7 to 1.9. Students with marginal standing will be placed on academic warning and will normally have one period of assessment to return to satisfactory standing. Students failing to return to satisfactory standing will be required to withdraw from Augustana Faculty. Students with marginal standing will also be required to withdraw if they have previously had unsatisfactory or marginal standing at the end of any period of assessment at Augustana Faculty or have previously been required to withdraw from Augustana, another Faculty, or another postsecondary institution.

(4)

Unsatisfactory standing: Unsatisfactory standing is given to a student who obtains a GPA less than 1.7. Students with unsatisfactory standing will be required to withdraw from Augustana Faculty.

55.6.3 Other Regulations Related to Academic Standing

A student who has been required to withdraw from Augustana or any other Faculty, or from another postsecondary program, will not be considered for readmission until at least one full year has elapsed.
