UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC STANDING POLICY
Undergraduate Academic Standing Policy
In
order for a student to be in good academic standing at Robert Morris
University, he or she must have a minimum cumulative QPA of 1.60 after
attempting 12 credits, 1.80 after attempting 24 credits, and 2.00 after 48
credits are attempted. Regardless of QPA, a student with 3 or more F's, W's, or
N's within the first 24 credit hours of course work attempted is not in good
academic standing and may be dismissed from the University.
A
student who receives three unsuccessful course repeats (F's or, N's in any
attempted courses, or D's in major courses) or has withdrawn from the same
course three times will be placed on Academic Warning; additional
unsuccessful attempts may result in academic probation for the next semester of
enrollment.
A
student who does not meet the necessary standards may be placed on academic
probation for the next semester of enrollment. (A student placed on academic
probation is strongly advised to meet with their RMU counselor and devise a
plan that will enable the student to return to good academic standing.)
A
student on academic probation who fails to achieve a grade-point average that
will remove the probationary status, may be placed on continued academic
probation and must meet with their RMU counselor and complete the appropriate
Center for Student Success forms.
If
the deficiency continues after a semester on continued academic probation, the
student, upon the recommendation of their counselor is subject to being placed
on academic suspension by the Academic Affairs Office and is ineligible to
register for classes for one semester. The decision to place a student on
Academic Suspension may be appealed to the dean of the student's degree
program. If the dean approves an appeal, the dean must complete an academic
conference contract and submit it to the Registrar. A
student may apply for academic reinstatement after a minimum of one semester of
academic suspension. Reinstatement applications are addressed to the dean of
the school in which the student wishes to matriculate. A student who is
reinstated must meet the prescribed activities for academic success set forth
by the dean of the school. If the dean approves an appeal, the dean must
complete an academic conference contract and submit it to the Registrar.
Failure to meet all conditions of the prescribed activities for academic success may result in the student's academic dismissal from Robert Morris University.
