Continued Academic Probation

Continued academic probation is granted to students who have earned semester GPAs at least equivalent to that required for good academic standing, but who have not yet raised their cumulative GPAs to the level required by their class standing. Assuming that their semester GPAs are in good academic standing, students may be on continued academic probation for no more than 36 consecutive credits of course work, at which point they have either achieved the cumulative GPA required for their class standing and are removed from probation or they have failed to achieve the required cumulative GPA and are dismissed from the University. In addition:

• Students who are placed on continued academic probation will not represent Rockford University in any event that is within the public arena. Additional limitations will be placed on activities that require large amounts of time or represent the student body within the University.
  • Students on continued academic probation will have the following limitations placed on their involvement in co-curricular activities at Rockford University:
  • Students on continued academic probation will not be eligible to participate in intercollegiate athletics.
  • Students on continued academic probation will not be eligible to participate in departmentally sponsored performing arts productions.
  • Students on continued academic probation will not be eligible to represent the Rockford University student body on any campus committee.
  • Students on continued academic probation will not be eligible to serve as officers of the Commuter Student Organization or the Non-Traditional Students Club.
  • Students on continued academic probation will not be eligible to serve as officers of any Rockford University club or organization without prior approval of the Dean of Students and the student’s academic advisors.

This policy will be enforced for all activities except intercollegiate athletics. For all activities except intercollegiate athletics, a list of the names of students who wish to run for offices or serve on committees will be submitted to the Dean of Students. The academic standing of those students will be verified by the Dean, who will meet with students who do not satisfy the eligibility requirements. Students who do not meet eligibility requirements will be asked to withdraw as candidates for such positions.
