Students on Final Probation are not eligible to apply for and participate in off-campus study programs, Epic Advantage experiences, and Faculty\/Student Collaborative Research projects, and can not hold leadership positions in campus organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A student on Final Probation who is not making normal academic progress or not attending classes may be suspended for the remainder of the semester and asked to leave the campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Credit Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n First-year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upperclass:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cumulative GPA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n First-year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upperclass:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Semester GPA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n All Students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To be removed from Final Probation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This category usually applies to students who are on Final Probation and do not complete 14 credit hours with a C average (2.00) or better. The Committee may also suspend a student who did not fulfill the terms of Probation or Academic Caution in instances of serious unsatisfactory academic progress (e.g., passing few credits in a semester). In cases of extenuating circumstances, however, the Committee may elect to keep the student on Final Probation for another semester instead of suspending them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A student may appeal to the Academic Advisory Committee for reconsideration of Final Probation or Suspension status if they believe there are extenuating circumstances that the committee should consider. \u00a0The appeal must be submitted to the Registrar\u2019s Office by the fifth business day after receiving the email notification of Final Probation or Suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A student who wants to return to Earlham following an academic suspension should request an application for Readmission from the Registrar\u2019s Office. Applications should be submitted one month prior to the semester for which the student wants to re-enroll, but the period between suspension and readmission must be one semester and one summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A student must submit a written evaluation of his\/her time away. In the evaluation, the student must demonstrate a strong commitment to improving his\/her past academic record. In addition, a student who has been suspended and wishes to apply for readmission must meet the criteria found in their letter of Suspension from the College. The criteria normally includes successfully taking courses elsewhere and\/or receiving counseling\/study skills for an extended period of time in order to demonstrate readiness to return to Earlham. The student must obtain pre-approval for the transfer of credit through the Office of the Registrar before enrolling in the courses at another institution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A suspended student who is readmitted is placed on Final Probation during their first semester back at Earlham. Financial aid may be reinstated upon the student\u2019s readmission to the College. For one semester after readmission, students are considered to be making satisfactory progress for aid purposes, although they may initially be below the minimum expectations described as\u00a0Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Eligibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
