Academic Standards of Progress

The following Standards of Progress shall apply to all students unless the program in which the student is enrolled has higher standards of progress due to external licensure, certification, and/or accreditation requirements. 

A student must maintain the following cumulative grade point average (平均绩点) dependent upon the number of hours attempted at the College in order to have clear academic 状态: 

 

Transfer students who are admitted on Academic Probation retain that status and the WSCC academic standards of progress apply to them. 

Application of Standards of Progress 
The following applications of Standards of Progress apply: 

1. When the cumulative 平均绩点 is at or above the 平均绩点 required for the total number of credit hours attempted at the College, the student’s status is clear. 
2. When a student’s cumulative 平均绩点 is below the 平均绩点 required for the number of credit hours attempted at the College, the student is placed on Academic Probation. 
3. When the cumulative 平均绩点 of a student who is on Academic Probation remains below the 平均绩点 required for the total number of credit hours attempted at the College but the 学期平均绩点2.0 or above, the student remains on Academic Probation. 
4. When the cumulative 平均绩点 of a student who is on Academic Probation remains below the 平均绩点 required for the total number of credit hours attempted at the College and the semester 平均绩点 is below 2.0, the student is suspended for one semester. 成绩单 will read Suspended One Semester. 
5. 学生 who is suspended for one semester may appeal. If, after appeal, the student is readmitted without serving the one semester suspension, the transcript will read Suspended-One— Semester/Readmitted Upon Appeal. 学生 will be readmitted to the college on Academic Probation. 
6. A student who is on Academic Probation after being suspended (for any time period- whether the student has served the suspension or has been readmitted upon appeal) without having since achieved clear academic status and whose cumulative 平均绩点 falls below the level required for the total number of hours attempted at the institution but whose 学期平均绩点2.0 or above will remain on Academic Probation until the student achieves the required 平均绩点 for the total number of hours attempted. 
7. A student returning from a suspension (for any time period) and while on academic probation fails to obtain the required 平均绩点 for the number of hours attempted and fails to maintain a term 平均绩点 of 2.0, will be placed on a one-year suspension. 学生 may appeal the suspension. 
8. All applicable academic designations except clear will appear on the student’s transcript. 
    

Appeal Process for Readmission 
If a student does not contest the facts leading to suspension but simply wishes to request consideration for readmission, the student may submit a Petition for Academic Reinstatement form to the 招生 Committee for an “appeal for readmission.“ petition must be received by the 招生 Committee by the date established by the college each semester. During the meeting of the 招生 Committee, which shall not be considered a “due process” hearing but rather a petition for readmission, the student shall be given an opportunity to present a rationale statement of mitigating circumstances in support of immediate readmission. The decision of the 招生 Committee, together with the materials presented by the student, shall be placed in the College’s official records. Students suspended for one calendar year must appeal the suspension the first semester following the suspension. Failure to do so indicates his/her acceptance of the one-year suspension. 

Intervention for Student Success 
When a student is placed on Academic Probation, OneSemester Academic Suspension, or One-日历-Year Academic Suspension, College officials may provide intervention for the student by taking steps including (but not limited to) imposing maximum course loads, requiring a studyskills course, academic skills workshop attendance, and/or prescribing other specific methods for success.
