PRESIDENT’S LIST
You’ve made it in the collegiate world if you’ve made the President’s List. Any student who
has maintained a 3.75-4.0 grade point average (GPA) after completing a minimum number
of courses is eligible for the President’s List. (Looks great on a transcript or resume!)
PROBATION
If you have passed fewer than 32 cumulative credits and have a semester grade point
average (GPA) based on nine or more credits below 1.75, you will be placed on academic
probation and may take no more than 14 credits per semester. Consult your counselor
or advisor right away; many college services are available to help you improve your
academic achievement. To be taken off probation, you must receive a subsequent
semester grade point average of 2.0 or higher.
