Academic Dismissal

 At the end of each semester the records of all students are reviewed. Students who fail to make satisfactory progress toward an undergraduate degree for any of the following causes will be dismissed from the College:

1. GPA below 1.00 in any one term
2. Academic probation for two successive terms, or three total terms
3. Cumulative grade point average below that specified on the chart of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) 
4. Certain
   Code of Conduct
     violations
5. Remedial Course Policy
     violation

If a student has been academically dismissed from the College as a result of losing good academic standing, the student may petition to return for a probationary semester by submitting a written appeal to the Assistant Dean of Student Academic Affairs.  In the event the petition is accepted, the student may continue at LIM College on conditional probation pursuant to guidelines set forth in the petition acceptance agreement. These guidelines may include but are not limited to: limited course loads, mandated academic support services, achieving minimum GPA and earned credit requirements, and other restrictions as determined appropriate. To assist the student in focusing on her/his academic performance, participation in credited and non-credited internships as well as volunteer opportunities through the Center for Career Development is restricted. At the end of one semester the student will either be reinstated to full-time status or be dismissed.
