Academic Probation

The purpose of academic probation is to alert students to the fact their academic performance is not acceptable and to point out the consequences if improvements are not made during the next term of enrollment. A student who fails to maintain a minimum 2.0 semester GPA, for all work attempted in the term, shall be placed on academic probation. A student placed on academic probation (or admitted on academic probation) must attain a minimum 2.0 semester GPA during the next term of attendance to remove himself/herself from academic probationary status. Failing to attain a minimum semester GPA of 2.0 during the probationary term will result in the student being placed on academic suspension.

A student who fails to maintain the required grade point average in a particular program of study may be placed on academic probation. Failure to improve academic performance after being placed on probation shall result in suspension or dismissal from either the academic program or CPTC.

A student on academic probation is not eligible for graduation.
