We propose the following revision to the undergraduate Academic Standing Policy:

A student will remain on academic probation for more than one semester if
1) the student is enrolled in eight or fewer hours for the term in which he or she is on academic probation, and
2) the student earns grades of C or higher in all classes in which he or she enrolled, and
3) the student's institutional GPA remains under the required level for good standing.
In this case, the student will remain on academic probation (with restricted enrollment) and not proceed to academic dismissal.

Note: This change would apply only to those students on the new(er) academic standing rules, which went into effect in Fall 2006. Students on academic probation who enroll in eight or fewer hours would still be able to proceed to good standing if their institutional GPA rises to the level required for good standing. This policy would go into effect with the 2010-2011 catalog, and would be first applied at the end of Summer 2010.
