3342-3-01.10 Administrative policy regarding dismissal of undergraduate students for academic reasons.
(A) Purpose. A student whose academic performance indicates little chance of obtaining the minimum grades required for graduation will be dismissed from the university.
(B) Eligibility. Specifically, the academic dean may dismiss:
(1) A student on probation if the work is not improving sufficiently to indicate good likelihood of obtaining the minimum grades required for graduation.
(2) A freshman or first semester transfer student with less than a .50 at the end of the first semester.
(3) A freshman at the end of the second semester with less than a 2.00 cumulative grade point average unless the student has maintained a 2.00 average for the prescribed course load during the second semester.
(4) Sophomores and above with less than a 2.00 cumulative grade point average who are not meeting probationary expectations or who are not making prescribed progress in their major program.
(C) Required absence. Students meeting the above conditions will be subject to academic dismissal and should expect to be away from the university for a minimum of two consecutive semesters. The summer term does not constitute a semester.
(D) Readmission.
(1) Application for readmission may be made through the academic dean of the college from which the student was dismissed or the academic dean of a new college/school to which one wishes to transfer. Such application must include convincing evidence of the student's efforts during the period of dismissal to eliminate previous weaknesses. The dean then assigns the student to the examination aids center for further required testing. After evaluating the test results, the dean will inform the student whether or not he/she has been reinstated.
(2) A student who is reinstated is automatically placed on probation until the new work at the university can be evaluated.
