55.6 Academic Standing and Graduation
55.6.1 Determination of Academic Standing
Academic standing is assessed based on a student’s GPA. (Rules for computing the GPA are listed in §23.4.) Students are expected to maintain a 2.0 minimum GPA. Students who do not maintain this level of academic performance may be permitted to continue under academic warning or may be required to withdraw.
The assignment and reassignment of academic standing is based on a student’s performance in a minimum of 
12. If, at the time of review, the student has attempted fewer than 12 since the last assignment of academic standing, there will be a program review, but the assessment of academic standing will be deferred and the academic standing assigned at the last review will remain in effect until the next review
A review of academic performance is conducted for each student at the end of each Fall/Winter, based on all courses completed during Fall/Winter. In addition, any courses taken during the preceding Spring/Summer will be included in the review. Students whose assessment was deferred at the last review will be assessed on the cumulative results of all courses completed since their last academic standing assignment.
