Academic Progress & Probation
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Cambridge College undergraduate students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 to be considered as making satisfactory academic progress.
Cambridge College graduate students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 to be considered as making satisfactory academic progress.
Academic Probation
Academic Probation is an official warning issued by the dean’s office when a student falls below satisfactory academic progress (2.0 GPA at the undergraduate level, 3.0 at the graduate level). A student who has been placed on academic probation will be closely monitored over subsequent terms of enrollment. A student's continued lack of satisfactory academic progress may result in suspension or dismissal from their academic program.
Procedures: (specific procedures may be subject to periodic change)
If the Dean of the relevant school determines that a student will be placed on academic probation, a Notice of Academic Probation will be issued by the Dean’s office. The student must adhere to the following protocol upon notification:
- The student must meet their academic advisor within two weeks of receiving the notice of academic probation to discuss the notice of academic probation and its implications, and to develop a plan for academic success.
- International students must also meet with the Office of International Student Services or designee immediately upon receiving the notification of academic probation to discuss potential visa ramifications.
A copy of the notification of academic probation is given to the Registrar’s office for inclusion in the student’s file. A student placed on probation for lack of satisfactory academic progress will remain on probation until their GPA reaches 2.0 (undergraduate) or 3.0 (graduate).
A student may appeal the probation or suspension decision, in writing, to the Provost or designee. The appeal should be made within five business days after receiving the probation/suspension notice and should include a clear explanation and documentation to support the appeal. The Provost or designee will make a decision within five business days of the receipt of the appeal. The decision by the Provost or designee is final.
