A student is considered to be on Academic Suspension when his or her overall GPA drops below 2.0 (placing him or her on Academic Probation) and the student earns less than a 2.0 semester GPA for a second consecutive semester. The student will be notified of his or her status via an official letter from the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Based on current GSC policy, students are first suspended for one semester. If a student returns after a suspension and fails to earn a semester GPA of 2.0 or higher, the student will be suspended for one academic year. For more information on Academic Suspension, contact the Advising Center.

A student on Academic Probation may be placed on Academic Suspension if he/she fails to maintain or achieve the minimum cumulative GPA required of 2.0 or higher. Suspended students are authorized to enroll in HPE classes (for audit only), select non-transferable, short-term programs offered through the Workforce Training Center (WTC) or developmental level courses (credit only). Students who fail the same developmental course two times will be suspended. After one year, the Executive Vice President must approve re-enrollment. Approval will be based on the student's ability to benefit from the course.
