Academic Probation

Placement

Students attending Frank Phillips College are expected to maintain high standards of personal and scholarly conduct. Academic honesty including, but not limited to, cheating, collusion (working with anyone else to produce work for which you take credit without the professor’s permission), utilizing resources such as books and notes for a test without the professor’s permission, and plagiarism is considered a serious offense and may result in disciplinary actions including:

Conditions

  • A student placed on academic probation must meet the requirements of the academic probation program.
  • A student receiving Veteran’s Administration education benefits who is placed on academic probation will be reported to the VA as making unsatisfactory progress according to the criteria disclosed on page 28.
  • The student will be allowed to enroll in the next semester but may not register for more than sixteen (16) hours unless special permission is granted by the Dean of Instruction/Chief Academic Officer.
  • Students who enroll while they are on scholastic probation may continue to enroll in succeeding semesters providing they achieve at least a 2.0 semester GPA. Failure to do so will cause the students to be placed on academic suspension.

Return to Good Standing

  • Students will be removed from academic probation when they have raised their cumulative GPA to 2.0 or above and participated in the probation program requirements.
