At the end of each term and half-term, the Academic Standards Board reviews the academic records of all LS&A students showing evidence of academic difficulty. The College uses four basic types of actions: Action Pending, Probation, Suspension, and Dismissal.

Action Pending

  • Action Pending
  • Special Action Pending

Probation

  • Probation
  • Probation Continued
  • Special Probation
  • Raised Probation

Suspension

Reinstatement

Dismissal

Action Pending

Action Pending is assigned when a student's academic record for a term is incomplete and the student is in danger of completing the term with less than a 2.0 grade point average.

Probation

Probation is assigned to all students in the College whose term grade point average falls below 2.0 but whose deficit is not severe enough to justify suspension.

Suspension

Students may be suspended from the College for three reasons...

Reinstatement

Suspended students are expected to be out of registration for at least one full fall or winter term following their suspension.  Reinstatement is not automatic after that time; students must petition to be readmitted. 

Dismissal

Students may be permanently dismissed from the College if the Academic Standards Board determines that continuation in the College is unlikely to lead to a degree.
