The GPA level to maintain good academic standing shall be 2.0 for all undergraduate students. Students whose GPA level falls below a 2.0 who have completed less than 30 hours will be placed on academic warning. Students placed on academic warning will be provided information about academic resources available for assistance.
Students whose GPA level falls below a 2.0 who have completed 30 hours or more will be placed on academic probation for one semester. Students who are being placed on probation will receive a copy of the dismissal policy so that they fully understand their responsibilities and the consequences of their actions. The letter will contain notice of the locations for the posting on the NGCSU website of the dates of the Academic Review Committee meetings.
Following the semester of probation, students whose GPA levels continue below 2.0 will be academically dismissed. Students who are dismissed in Fall semester are eligible to return the following Fall semester. Students who are dismissed in spring or summer semesters are eligible to return the following Spring semester. Courses taken elsewhere by students on academic dismissal will not be eligible for transfer to NGCSU. When a student is dismissed from the University, the student shall have the right to appeal, should there be extenuating circumstances that contributed to the poor academic performance.
All letters of appeal must be submitted to the Office of Academic Affairs 2 business days prior to the scheduled Academic Review Appeals Committee Hearing. Please call Ms. Andi Georgia (706) 864-1602 in the Office of Academic Affairs for additional information regarding the appeal process.
