Academic Standing
Good Academic Standing
To be in good academic standing, a student must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.00 with no
grades of “Incomplete.” The GPA is based on all courses attempted on a graded basis except
Pass/Fail courses and pre-college courses. A student’s academic standing is noted on the
term grade report and on his or her official record. It is not calculated for Winterim.
Warned: Incomplete
This standing is given whenever a student has received one or more grades of “Incomplete.”
This is a temporary status and will change to the appropriate academic standing when the
“Incomplete” is removed and the GPA is re-calculated.
Probation
A student will be placed on probation if the cumulative GPA is less than 2.00. Students
on probation are required to meet with Learning Support Services staff for
an assessment and information about academic
support services. While on probation, a student who takes an “Incomplete” in
any course may not register for the following semester. Students have only one
term on probation in which to raise their cumulative
GPA to at least a 2.0 and return to good academic standing. A student who
does not raise his or her GPA in that one term is dismissed (see below).
Dismissal
A student will be dismissed from the college if the cumulative GPA is less than 2.00
for two successive terms, including Summer Session (but excluding Winterim), with a minimum
of 12 cumulative credits attempted overall.
Students dismissed from the college may re-apply after attending another institution and demonstrating academic success in at least 12 credits of college-transferable courses. The application is reviewed by the Admissions Committee.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
A full-time student is making satisfactory academic progress if he or she earns a minimum
of 12 Edgewood credits each semester in Fall and Spring, and is in good academic standing
(a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher) for each term he/she enrolls, including Fall, Spring, and
Summer. Pre-college courses, while they do not count in credit earned, count toward the
computation of full-time status for satisfactory progress in the semester they are taken.
