A cadet is considered deficient in academics if one or more F or I grades is received on a grade report, or if the cumulative, core or most recent semester GPA falls below 2.0. A First-class cadet is also deficient if the major GPA falls below 2.0. At midsemester, most deficient cadets will be placed on academic probation and will be reviewed by an Academic Review Committee (ARC) to determine their potential to succeed academically. In addition, cadets on probation will be assigned certain weekend study periods. At the end of the semester, if seriously deficient, the cadet’s record will be reviewed. The board may recommend either dismissal of the cadet or continuation on academic probation with appropriate remedial actions. The board can also direct participation in summer academics at the Academy.
