The College Academic Standing Committees meet at the end of each regular semester to review the academic records of any student in the College who is on academic probation or experiencing academic difficulties. The Committee recommends corrective actions to the Dean that may range from Letters of Concern to Probation to a Dismissal From the College. Students may be removed from the Academic Probation List only upon satisfying each of the requirements of the term of probation. There is no requirement that a student must receive a Letter of Concern or Probation prior to being dismissed from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and possibily from the University. A dismissal from the College may be appealed in writing.
Detailed instructions accompany each letter from the Dean.
Every student in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is assigned an academic adviser. Ordinarily, students will not be permitted to enroll in closed sections. Exceptions to this rule can be made only by the appropriate chairperson and only when a student graduating at the end of the current semester must enroll in the specific section in order to complete his or her primary major. If other sections or other courses are available to satisfy the degree requirements, the exception will not be granted. At the end of each academic year, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences officially recognizes its best students by including their names on the Dean's List.
