Academic Probation

Academic probation results when a student violates the Remedial Course Policy  or does not meet the minimum established academic requirements listed in the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) chart below. SAP is based on the credits completed at LIM College, plus any accepted transfer credits, accumulated by the end of any given semester and the attainment of the minimum cumulative GPA (Grade Point Average) indicated below.  Please note, students enrolled part-time are assessed for placement on below satisfactory academic progress chart based on attempted credits.

Academic Probation and Academic Dismissal  are determined twice annually after the conclusion of final examinations in the fall and spring semesters. Academic Probation and Academic Dismissal are based on grades posted at that time.   

Academic probation is not considered punitive, rather it alerts the student of the need to put more effort into his/her work and implies that the College believes the student can perform effectively enough to achieve the necessary grades. A student placed on academic probation must satisfy the terms of their academic probation plan to avoid Academic Dismissal  from the College. Any student who does not return to good academic standing as described herein is subject to Academic Dismissal  from the College. Students on academic probation may not register for online or hybrid courses. (This restriction applies to students who are completing more than 60 percent of their program on campus.) In an effort to help the student to achieve academic success, he or she may register for no more than 15 credits. (This restriction applies to students who are completing more than 60 percent of their program on campus.)

Any undergraduate student required to take a remedial course(s) must do so successfully by the end of the student’s fourth semester of attendance at LIM. Failure to satisfy this requirement, regardless of cumulative GPA or credits earned, will result in the student being placed on academic probation.
