Senate Policy 107.1
Academic Credit for ROTC classes
The minimum number of credits for R.O.T.C. courses, as listed in the catalog by AR
or
AF numbers, which may be applied to a baccalaureate degree, shall be six (6). The
individual faculties shall be responsible for selecting the courses and establishing
the
maximum number of credits for which baccalaureate credit will be granted. AR and AF
courses which may be used for physical education requirements may be considered
only to satisfy that requirement and are excluded from consideration under this policy.
Academic Suspension and Dismissal
A student is placed on academic suspension if the cumulative GPA is below 2.0 after
a
semester of academic probation or if the student is not restored to good academic
standing after two semesters of probation regardless of the cumulative GPA. A student
is also placed on academic suspension if the term GPA is 0.0 when a student attempts
12 or more credits. A suspended student will have the right to appeal. Students will
be
informed of their suspension and given information on the appeal process after grades
are processed each term. More detailed information about the appeal process can be
found on the Dean of Students website.
A student who receives a notice of academic suspension will not be permitted to enroll
at the University for a specified period of time. Upon receiving a first notice of
academic
suspension, a student must sit out for at least one semester, plus a summer. That
is, a
student suspended at the end of a fall semester may not re-enroll until the following
fall,
and a student suspended at the end of a spring semester may not re-enroll until the
following spring. A student who is suspended at the end of a summer term will be
permitted to request reinstatement the following spring. Upon receiving a second notice
of academic suspension, a student must sit out two semesters, plus a summer. Upon
reinstatement after a second suspension, failure to achieve good academic standing
or
show substantial academic progress within one semester will result in academic
dismissal. Students may appeal an academic dismissal. However, if no appeal is
submitted or the appeal is denied, there is no opportunity for reinstatement after
academic dismissal.
Reinstatement
A student suspended for unsatisfactory academic progress may apply for reinstatement
through a written request to the Dean of Students after a period of nonenrollment.
A
student who is reinstated after academic suspension will be reinstated on academic
probation and shall be considered as having enrolled under the catalog and curriculum
in effect at the time of enrollment.
Upon reinstatement, failure to achieve good academic standing or show substantial
academic progress by the end of one semester will result in a second suspension. Upon
reinstatement after a second suspension, failure to achieve good academic standing
or
show substantial academic progress within one semester will result in academic
dismissal. There is no opportunity for reinstatement after academic dismissal.
Transfer Credit
Students may transfer equivalent credit from another institution with grades of C
or
better in the equivalent courses at the other institution.
Repeating a Course
Students may not repeat courses in which they have earned a grade of C or better.
When a course is repeated, the most recent grade will be used to calculate the GPA,
credits earned toward graduation, and determination of class standings. When a course
is repeated, any credit previously earned under the course number is forfeited and
the
transcript will indicate NR (no grade-repeated) for the earlier attempt. Students
must
have the permission of the dean of student affairs and their academic advisor for
the
third attempt at any one course. Courses exempt from the repeat rule are those that
may be repeated for credit as indicated in the course description.
Prerequisites
A student may not elect a course unless he/she has the proper prerequisites. Courses
in which D and CD grades were earned should be repeated before electing an
advanced course. Departments may also require C or better grades in some
prerequisite courses. Students should check both the course number and the required
grade to determine if they are qualified to move to the next course.
