Probation and Dismissal (Seaver College Information Only)

A minimum GPA of 2.000 (C) for work taken at Seaver College and for work done in the major(s) is required for the bachelor's degree. When a student's cumulative GPA falls below 2.000, that student is placed on academic probation, which is considered a warning. Any student on academic probation must: (1) earn a minimum GPA of 2.000 in the next term of enrollment, and (2) be removed from academic probation within one calendar year. Failure to meet either stipulation will result in academic dismissal.

Before requesting readmission, students who are academically dismissed must demonstrate successful completion of a full load of classes elsewhere for at least one term and fulfill all other requirements as specified by the Credits Committee.
