Academic Dismissal

At the end of each fall and spring semester the records of all students are reviewed. A student placed on Academic Probation must satisfy the terms of their academic probation plan to avoid academic dismissal from the College.

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 conditional probationary semester by submitting a written appeal to the Director of Academic Support Services. In the event the petition is accepted, the student may continue at LIM College on Conditional Academic Probation pursuant to guidelines set forth in the petition acceptance agreement.

If the petition is approved, the student may continue their studies at LIM under a conditional academic probation status, with specific terms outlined in the petition acceptance agreement. These terms may include, but are not limited to: 

• A reduced course load 

• Mandatory participation in academic support services 

• Minimum GPA and earned credit benchmarks 

• Limitations on internships, volunteer opportunities, or extracurricular commitments 

At the conclusion of the conditional semester, the student’s academic performance will be evaluated. Based on that review, the student will either be permitted to continue enrollment or will be permanently dismissed from the College.
