Academic Probation & Suspension

The following policy outlines the academic expectations for full-time and part-time students at Donnelly College.

• The student must maintain a minimum 2.00 semester and cumulative grade point average (GPA).
• The student must complete 67% of all credit/non-credit courses attempted (each semester and cumulative).
  • Courses with grades of I, W, F, or U will not be considered completed hours.
  • Transfer credits that are accepted will be included in the calculation of courses completed or attempted.

The College will check the students’ progress at the end of each fall, spring, and summer term.

• If the student has earned a minimum 2.00 semester and cumulative GPA and completed 67% of all credit/non-credit courses attempted, they are in good academic standing.
• If the student has earned less than a 2.00 and/or has not completed 67% of all credit/non-credit courses attempted, they will be placed on academic probation and will be required to develop a success plan, including mandatory meetings, with their academic advisor.
• A student on academic probation who earns a semester or cumulative GPA less than 2.00 and/or fails to complete 67% of all credit/non-credit courses attempted will be placed on academic suspension and may not enroll for the following semester. Students may appeal their status by completing the Academic Suspension Appeal process. Students are required to submit an appeal form with a letter of explanation and all necessary documentation to the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs.
