SATISFACTORY PROGRESS
Students must maintain 2.0 GPA to be considered satisfactory. If a student’s Grade Point Average (GPA) falls below 2.0, he/she will be placed on academic probation for one semester. If the student does not demonstrate a 2.0 GPA or above at the end of the semester on probation, the student will be suspended. If GPA falls below 2.0, see dismissal policy.
Attendance Policy
Class Attendance
Each student enrolled in a three (3) credit hour course is allowed a total of three unexcused absences. Each successive absence will result in a reduction of the student’s total overall grade, and student will be placed on probation for three weeks. If the student acquires another unexcused absence, the student will be terminated. This student may not enroll until the following semester. Extenuating circumstances may dictate some deviation from this policy.
Students will only be given credit for class attendance, not for attending any Conventions, Associations, or Revivals. In extenuating circumstances, when student’s excessive absence is beyond the student’s control, the student may be officially withdrawn by President/Dean’s decision. All students must attend Chapel services.
