Policies & Procedures
Academic Requirements
Academic performance should not be taken lightly. Involvement is not an extenuating circumstance or a reasonable justification to allow grades to decline. To succeed in your own academic pursuits, a minimum semester and cumulative Grade Point Average has been established for students to apply for and retain these important roles.
Officers MUST:
-Be enrolled as a full-time Michigan Tech student.
-Be in good academic standing:
- University cumulative GPA of 2.25 or greater
- Most recent semester GPA of 2.25 or greater
- Major departmental cumulative of 2.25 or greater, based on at least 16 attempted credits
Timeline for academic requirements is defined as the semester of election and semesters during the term of office.
If an officer fails to meet academic requirements at any time, he or she must resign from their position.
Leadership and/or officer positions are defined as titles and responsibilities outlined in constitution.
Officers or Advisors may request a grade report at the end of each semester. Please make requests to the Student Organization Coordinator, Maryann Wilcox at mawilcox@mtu.edu.
Each individual group may hold their own standard of academic performance for members via requirements or by-laws of their constitution. Requirements cannot be lower than 2.0 (university academic probation) but can be elevated. (Officer GPA requirements may not be below a 2.5 cumulative and semester GPA per Student Activities policy.)
