Academic Standing
Presentation College monitors graduate students' academic progress after all semesters (fall, spring and summer) to determine academic standing.
Academic Probation
The purpose of academic probation is to warn students of their scholastic standing. Notification of probationary status will be made in writing to students from the Registrar's Office and a copy of the notice will be sent to the appropriate Dean and advisor. Academic probation will be noted on the transcript.
A student who earns below a 3.00 cumulative GPA after any semester is placed on academic probation.
Students may take other graduate courses towards degree if the courses meet pre- and co-requisite requirements to continue graduate studies. However, students must retake any course(s) they received less than a grade of "B" in the next semester that the course(s) is/are offered in the curriculum.
Academic Suspension
Based on credits attempted at Presentation College, a student will be subject to dismissal from the College if, while on probation, the semester GPA falls below 3.00.
A graduate student may seek readmission to Presentation College after one semester of suspension; the student is required to undergo review by applicable Division Dean.
Other Grounds for Academic Suspension/Probation
Students may also be given an official warning and subsequent probation or suspension for continued absences from class, continued failure in assignments over a period of time, or an attitude depicting a lack of motivation and interest as documented by faculty over a period of time. Continuation of the condition after a semester of probation will be considered grounds for suspension.
The physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing of students is an essential component of educational development. Therefore, a student may be requested by the College to submit evidence of health as determined by a physician or other qualified professional any time during the course of the student's education. If a student is believed to be an immediate threat to the safety of himself/herself or others, the College reserves the right to request the student to obtain immediate professional assistance, to withdraw, or to take a leave of absence for a specific period of time. The College reserves the right to request that a physician or other qualified professional be given authorization by a student to provide written documentation to Presentation College stating that he/she is in good physical, mental, and emotional health.
Administrative Withdrawal
The College reserves the right to administratively withdraw a student from a class or all classes if, in the judgment of the appropriate College officials, such withdrawal is in the best interests of the student and the College. A "WF" grade is given to a student with a College-initiated withdrawal after the last date to withdraw in each semester. A "W" may be given prior to the last date to withdraw. A "WF" is computed into the grade point average as 0.00 grade points per credit hour.
