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 student affairs 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.
