Good Academic Standing

 

Definition

AMCS students must be in good academic standing to enroll in university courses.  Academic good standing means the student: 

• maintains a cumulative 2.50 GPA 
• completes all enrolled courses with a “C” or higher
• good attendance record 
• no disciplinary actions 

 

Academic Probation

A student is no longer in good standing when the student’s university GPA falls below 2.50, fails to attend 20% of a course meeting times or receives a failing grade (D, F, W, NB, I, or Credit/No Credit) in a course(s). The student is placed on academic probation the next semester.  While on academic probation, the student may be required to adhere to one or more of the following: 

• Reduce overall class schedule by one course (3 credits) from the previous semester 
• Retake course(s) which the student earned “D,” “F,” or “W” before attempting new courses 
• No single course enrollment
• Maintain full-time status in program (six classes) 
• Attend advisory one time per week 

 

Conduct Probation

If a student receives disciplinary action during the semester, the student is no longer in good standing and is placed on probation the next semester or returned to the student’s home high school. While on probation, the student may be required to adhere to one or more of the following: 

• Reduce overall class schedule by one course (3 credits) from the previous semester 
• Retake classes which the student earned “D,” “F,” or “W” before attempting new courses 
• No single course enrollment
• Maintain full-time status in program (6 classes) 
• Attend advisory one time per week

 

Return to Good Standing

If the student improves their university GPA, the above restrictions are lifted, and the student may return to a full schedule without supervision. The student may be removed from the program and returned to his or her home high school if their GPA does not improve or falls below 2.0. 

 

Academic Warning

A student may receive a written academic warning when sufficient information is present to indicate the student is on track to fail a course(s).  The notice usually comes mid-semester, and the student is encouraged to take corrective actions such as speaking with the teacher/professor and utilizing student support services.
