Students must also complete a minimum of 45 semester hours while a student in the College. Courses for credit taken through ETV, correspondence, off-campus, or other formats may be accepted for inclusion in a degree program only when approved by the College Office of Academic Programs in advance of registration for that course. The normal maximum load for undergraduates is 17 semester hours. In exceptional cases, students may request an overload. Such requests must be submitted to the College Office of Academic Programs.
Students are subject to an academic warning from the end of the first semester of enrollment.
Students on warning must discuss improvement of their academic achievement with the College Office of Academic Programs. Student achieving a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 at the end of any semester will be placed on probation to signify that they are not making satisfactory academic progress. Students are subject to probation from the end of the first semester of enrollment. Students placed on probation are responsible for securing from the Office of Academic Programs, or dean, information regarding services available to assist them in improving their academic performance. Students who are placed on probation, and who fail to raise their cumulative GPA to 2.0 or above at the conclusion of the next semester of enrollment, regardless of the number of hours attempted, will be declared ineligible and will not be permitted to enroll in courses offered by the College for a period of one calendar year and until the cumulative GPA is at least a 2.0.
