Students enrolled in academic programs carrying five or more credits will be placed on Academic Concern at the end of any quarter in which their cumulative GPA is 2.0 or better but their quarterly GPA is below 2.0.

Students on Academic Intervention are required to complete an Academic Success Plan that outlines steps, created by the student, for improving the student's academic performance.
