Undergraduate classification is based on cumulative earned credits:
Part-time students in the School of Continuing Studies are required to maintain a minimum grade point average throughout their enrollment (see table below). Students who fail to meet this minimum standard are placed on academic probation. The cumulative grade point average of a student is calculated by dividing the number of quality points a student has earned by the total number of quality hours (including courses with failures). Only the grades of S, U, NR, W, and grades in courses affected by the School of Continuing Studies "Repeated Course" policy are excluded from this calculation. The quality of each part-time student's work will be monitored at the end of each semester. Enforcement consists of two distinct steps: probation and dismissal. Probation Any part-time student who does not meet the minimum cumulative grade point average as shown in the table below will be placed on academic probation. The status of probation lasts until it is removed as a result of academic improvement or ended by dismissal. Part-time students who are placed on probation are warned that their academic progress is insufficient, and they are given a set time period (ordinarily one semester) in which to raise their cumulative grade point average to the required level. Part-time students on probation may enroll in no more than seven credits. As a further condition, all coursework taken while on probation must be passed with at least the grade of C. Students on probation cannot be given a recommendation of good academic standing to another institution for purpose of cross-enrollment or summer school admission. Dismissal After attempting 31 credits at Tulane, part-time students will be dismissed if they fail to earn a "C" in each course taken while they are on academic probation. Dismissal from the university is for a period
of at least one academic semester. A third dismissal is non-appealable
and will be for a period of one calendar year. Any coursework taken
at another college or university during the dismissal period is
not transferable to the School of Continuing Studies.
Reinstatement Any student who has been dismissed from the School of Continuing Studies has the right to petition the the School of Continuing Studies Academic Performance and Petitions Committee. Students who return after their dismissal period are placed on academic probation. Petitions Petitions from students who have been denied registration under these regulations are evaluated by the Academic Performance and Petitions Committee of the School of Continuing Studies. Successful petitioners will be readmitted on the terms and conditions specified by the committee, which may include limitation on the number of courses, specification of courses that must be taken, progress that must be achieved, the time within which terms and conditions must be met, and classification of academic standing. |
