Transition with Purpose: Pathways from English Language to Academic Study

14 IELP ACADEMIC STANDING SYSTEM The purpose of the Academic Standing System is to ensure students are successful in their classes and to identify students who may be struggling academically and need additional support. There are five categories of academic standing: Academic Excellence: Passing grades earned in all classes and term GPA 3.7 or above. Good Academic Standing: Passing grades earned in all classes and term GPA 2.0 or above. Academic Warning: One or more failing grades; failing a class for the first time -OR-term GPA below 2.0. Academic Probation: One or more failing grades for the second time; failing one or more classes for the second time -OR-term GPA below 2.0 in two consecutive terms. Academic Dismissal: One or more failing grades for the third time; failing one or more classes for the third time -OR- term GPA below 2.0 in three consecutive terms. Students who are academically dismissed may not continue to study in the IELP and must transfer to another language program or return home. This decision may be appealed through the IELP Academic Standing Committee.
