Academic Probation

All graduate programs require a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 to graduate. A minimum 3.0 GPA must be maintained while at Piedmont College to be considered in good standing. Students falling below a cumulative 3.0 will be placed on academic probation. A student who is on academic probation whose subsequent cumulative GPA is still below 3.0 and has remained the same or is lower than the previous cumulative GPA will be placed on Academic Exclusion. A student whose subsequent semester cumulative GPA is still below 3.0 but has improved may, after review, continue on Academic Probation. A student who is on Academic Probation whose cumulative GPA reaches a 3.0 or higher will be removed from Academic Probation.
