Academic Probation and Dismissal

Students who have earned at least 12 credits of course work at Rockford University and have failed to achieve the GPAs required for good academic standing (see above) will be placed on academic probation as a warning that they are not meeting the University’s academic standards, and that continued failure to do so will result in dismissal.

Students placed on academic probation are allowed to take additional courses to establish satisfactory levels of academic work. Students placed on academic probation must achieve at least the GPA equivalent to that which would maintain a student in good academic standing (see above) each subsequent semester while on probation. Further, students on probation must raise their cumulative GPAs to the level required by their class standing (see above) in their next 36 credits of course work. This is known as continued academic probation (see below). Failure to achieve either of these goals will result in dismissal.
