Academic Dismissal
Students are academically dismissed form Hood College if the end-of-term records review by the Committee on Academic Standards and Policies raises concerns about a student's overall academic progress. The College may at any time dismiss a student who is not making satisfactory academic progress as described here. When dismissing students from the College, factors that the committee may consider include but are not limited to total credits attempted, term GPAs, cumulative GPA, academic standings after each fall and spring term, progression within their major and towards degree completion, and feedback from instructors, faculty advisors, and Student Success. Students who are dismissed from the College may not enroll in classes as a non-degree seeking student.
Students academically dismissed form the College are informed of their status in a notification sent to the student with their advisor copied. The notification also provides information for the student to appeal their dismissal, if they so choose, by a strict deadline. Guidance on dismissal appeals is described below.
