Academic Standing - CAPS
Academic Probation - Students enrolled in a CAPS program will be placed on probation if their core GPA at any time falls below:
- 2.00 for the associate programs
- 2.25 for baccalaureate programs
- 2.50 for the Biblical Studies program
- 3.00 for graduate programs
- 3.25 for the doctoral program
Students will be placed on probation if their cumulative GPA at any time falls below:
- 2.00 for the associate and baccalaureate programs
- 3.00 for graduate programs
- 3.25 for the doctoral program
Students are given two consecutive courses to satisfactorily raise their GPA. The GPA is reviewed after the second course, and if it has been successfully raised, the probationary status is removed. Academic suspension will result if the student's GPA is not successfully raised.
Academic Suspension - Academic suspension will result if:
- A student fails to clear the academic probationary status within the probationary period of two consecutive courses.
- A student has taken a course twice and failed to achieve a satisfactory grade. When this occurs, the student is ineligible to reapply for admission into the program in which the course was repeated. (Exception: students may take ENG-140/WRI-140 and ENG-141/WRI-141 as many times as necessary to achieve a passing grade.)
In all cases, the suspension will occur once the grades have been recorded in the Registrar's Office. Students will be notified of the academic suspension in writing. Application for readmission may be made after six months. The application must be made in writing to the Associate Dean of the specific school.
See the Graduate Studies in Leadership section for additional academic standing information of the doctoral program.
Academic Dismissal - Upon a second academic suspension in the same program, a student is not eligible to reapply to Indiana Wesleyan University.
