Scholastic Probation and Suspension
Dual Credit Scholastic Probation and Suspension
To maintain a high level of scholarship among the students of East Texas A&M, standards of scholarship must be maintained. Policy 13.99.99.R0.41 Undergraduate Academic Probation, Suspension, Appeal, and Readmission delineates the process afforded to undergraduate students for probation, suspension, appeal, and readmission.
A satisfactory level of academic achievement is determined on the basis of each student’s institutional grade point average calculated on the basis of all college level academic work attempted. To be eligible for continued enrollment in good standing in the university, a student must maintain a minimum institutional grade point average of 2.00.
Should any dual credit student fail to maintain satisfactory progress as specified by these regulations, the student will be permitted to enroll for further work under our Academic Probation Intervention Process. The goal of this intervention process is to educate dual credit students and our high school partners on the effects of not remaining in Good Standing academically and to keep students from progressing to Academic Suspension. This academic intervention process coupled with our early intervention and mid-term grade reporting, tutoring resources, and high school interventions, will ultimately assist students with staying on track for timely completion of their dual credit courses and/or associate degrees only on academic probation.
Starting with students enrolled for fall 2024 and after, East Texas A&M will begin grade checks at the end of each semester, reviewing students' final grades. For students earning a D or F in a course, if allowed to continue taking dual credit per school district guidelines for next term will be required to:
- Repeat courses failed the following semester (if offered) or as soon as available (exceptions will be determined if extenuating circumstances)
- Meet with high counselor before being registered for next semester
- Meet during the second week of August (fall terms) or second week of January (spring terms) after the start of the term with a ETAMU representative from Secondary Partnerships and high school designated personnel to discuss their academic probation and review of ETAMU policy 13.99.99.R0.41 Undergraduate Academic Probation, Suspension, Appeal and Readmission and signing of the Academic Probation Intervention Contract
- Complete at least 9 documented hours of tutoring by the end of the semester in the respective course(s)
To qualify for continued enrollment while on probation, however, the student must maintain a semester grade point average of at least 2.00. A student on academic probation will remain subject to the requirements of probation until such time as their institutional GPA rises to a 2.0 or higher.
Academic suspension ensues when a student already on academic probation fails to earn and/or maintain at least a 2.0 institutional semester GPA. Students on academic suspension are no longer eligible to be enrolled at the University. If already registered for the following semester, their course schedule will be dropped.
Should the student fail again to maintain an adequate 2.00 semester grade point average in academic courses attempted during that semester, Academic suspension ensues. Students on academic suspension may appeal that status. Appeals are heard at the conclusion of fall and spring only after grades are posted. The student will be required to leave the University on academic suspension for up to one calendar year as specified above. After the period of academic suspension, the student will be permitted to enroll again on academic probation.
A student must be in residence at East Texas A&M to remove the conditions of probation. If the student comes out of school for any intervening period, either voluntarily or as required by the regulations of the University or attends another college or university, the conditions of probation will not be removed.
