A student whose departmental grade point average falls below the accepted retention minimum shall be placed on probation for the next semester. At the end of that semester if the departmental grade point average is still below the minimum, the department chair may recommend dismissal from the department to the dean or may extend probation for one additional semester. If a student is on probation for two consecutive semesters and has not achieved the minimum departmental grade point average required for retention, the chair shall recommend dismissal from the department to the dean. If a student runs into problems with standards, the advisor is someone the student can turn to for guidance. Advisors are assigned to each student.
Every attempt is made to keep the student and the advisor together until graduation.
This schedule includes office hours, a telephone number, and an e-mail address enabling the student to contact the advisor when necessary.
