Academic Standing Policy 314.06

Academic Standing Policy 314.06
Johnson County Community College
Series: 300 Students
Section: Academic Policies

Applicability: This Policy applies to all Johnson County Community College (“JCCC” or the “College”) students enrolled in credit courses.

Purpose: The purpose of this Policy is to define how academic standing is determined at JCCC.

Statement:

I. Academic Good Standing

A student is in academic good standing when the student’s JCCC cumulative grade point average (“GPA”) is at least 2.0. The JCCC cumulative GPA includes only grades from coursework taken at JCCC.

Academic good standing is distinct from Satisfactory Academic Progress (“SAP”), which is required to maintain eligibility for federal financial aid. The SAP standards are described on the Financial Aid webpage.

II. Academic Probation

Students who have completed at least 12 cumulative credit hours may be placed on probation if the JCCC cumulative GPA falls below 2.0. Cumulative credit hours include courses taken at any institution that have become part of the student’s JCCC record.

Being placed on academic probation indicates the need for the student to improve academic performance and provides the student with access to targeted resources intended to assist the student in meeting established academic requirements. A student on academic probation must earn at least a 2.0 term GPA each subsequent semester in order to continue enrollment. The student will remain on academic probation until the student’s JCCC cumulative GPA reaches 2.0 or higher. At that point, the student will return to academic good standing.

III. Academic Suspension

If a student on academic probation earns a term GPA below 2.0 for the fall, spring, or summer semester, the student will be placed on one-semester academic suspension. The student will not be allowed to enroll at JCCC until after the next fall or spring semester. When the student returns, the student will be on probation after suspension.

The student will remain on probation after suspension until the student’s JCCC cumulative GPA reaches 2.0 or higher, which returns the student to academic good standing. If a student on probation after suspension earns a term GPA below 2.0, the student will be placed on one-year academic suspension and will not be allowed to enroll at JCCC for one calendar year. When the student returns, the student will be on probation after one-year suspension.

A student on academic suspension may be allowed to enroll before the suspension period ends in accordance with procedures established by the Records Office. A student allowed to enroll during a suspension period will be on probation after suspension.
