ACADEMIC PROBATION & DISMISSAL

Academic Expectations

  • RSG students are expected to maintain a 3.00 cumulative GPA, determined at the end of each term, for courses taken at Regent University.

Academic Probation

  • When a student’s cumulative GPA falls below 3.00, the student shall be placed on academic probation for the next term of enrollment of substandard GPA.
  • Students on academic probation should consult with their advisors to improve their academic performance.
  • Academic probation status is recorded in the student’s academic record.
  • When a student is placed on probation, the dean shall notify the student in writing of any specific instructions for improving academic performance.
  • A student on probation will not be allowed to register for the subsequent term until grades for the probationary period have been received and reviewed.
  • A student will be removed from academic probation when the cumulative GPA is 3.00 or above.

Academic Dismissal

  • A student on probation has one term (the probationary period) to bring the low cumulative GPA back to the acceptable 3.00.
  • Students who do not meet this standard shall be subject to dismissal, and the student will receive written notification from RSG’s dean.

Petitioning for Reinstatement

  • Students who have been dismissed may petition for reinstatement after one academic year, unless other criteria for possible reinstatement were contained in the dismissal letter.
  • All petitions for reinstatement will be considered on an individual basis.
  • Reinstatement will be granted only if the student demonstrates a strong likelihood of possessing motivation and capacity to complete the academic requirements successfully.
  • RSG’s dean shall notify the student in writing of the school’s decision regarding reinstatement.
  • Students who are reinstated shall be required to comply with any conditions set forth in the letter of reinstatement.
  • RSG sends a copy of the reinstatement form and all letters regarding academic status to the Registrar’s Office to be placed in the student’s university file.
