Academic Standing

At the end of each academic semester, each student’s progress toward fulfilling degree requirements is reviewed.  A student with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better is in good academic standing.  For students with a GPA lower than a 2.0, a determination on academic standing is made according to the criteria listed below.

  • When a student’s first semester at The College of Saint Rose results in a GPA below a 2.0, the student will receive notice from their Dean regarding their unsatisfactory academic progress.   Students whose cumulative GPA falls between 1.5 and 1.9 are placed on Academic Warning. Students whose cumulative GPA falls below a 1.5 are placed on Academic Probation.

After a student has attempted a second semester, or more, at The College of Saint Rose the following criteria apply:

  1. A student whose cumulative GPA has remained below 2.0 for three consecutive semesters will be dismissed.
  2. Students who have attempted less than 30 credit hours, including transfer credit: If cumulative GPA falls between 1.0 and 2.0, student is placed on Academic Probation. If cumulative GPA falls below a 1.0, student is academically dismissed.
  3. After attempting 30 credit hours, including transfer credit: Students whose cumulative GPA falls between 1.5 and 1.9 are placed on academic probation. Students whose cumulative GPA falls below 1.5 are academically dismissed.
  4. After attempting 45 credit hours, including transfer credits: Students whose cumulative GPA falls between 1.6 and 1.99 are placed on academic probation. Students whose cumulative GPA falls below 1.6 are academically dismissed.
  5. After attempting 60 credit hours, including transfer credits: Students whose cumulative GPA falls between 1.7 and 1.99 are placed on academic probation. Students whose cumulative GPA falls below 1.7 are academically dismissed.
  6. After attempting 75 credit hours, including transfer credits: Students whose cumulative GPA falls between 1.8 and 1.99 are placed on academic probation. Students whose cumulative GPA falls below 1.8 are academically dismissed.
  7. After attempting 90 credit hours, including transfer credits: Students whose cumulative GPA falls between 1.9 and 1.99 are placed on academic probation. Students whose cumulative GPA falls below 1.9 are academically dismissed.
  8. After attempting 105 credit hours, including transfer credits: Students whose cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 are academically dismissed.

Attempted credit hours include courses in which students have received the grade of F. Course withdrawals (courses with W for grade) are included in attempted credits for academic standing.

Academic dismissal is binding for a period of at least one year, after which time the student may apply for resumption of study. Some evidence indicating likelihood of success must be presented. The College reserves the right not to readmit students who have been dismissed for academic reasons. Students can appeal their dismissal only if attempting to return in the very next Fall or Spring semester.
