to the Academic and Curriculum Committee (ACC) for approval. A student

will receive a grade of "W".
Probation & Dismissal
• Students who during a semester miss more than one-fifth
of the sessions of any courses in the first ten weeks of the semester
(five weeks during the summer term) will be dropped from the course
if the faculty member has stated in the syllabus that attendance
will be taken.
• A student is placed on probation if the student's overall
average is less than 68 at the end of the 2nd regular semester;
if the semester average is less than 69 at the end of the 3rd or
4th regular semester, or if the semester average is less than 70
in any subsequent semester, excluding the summer term.

average of 69 or more in the 3rd or 4th regular semester, or a semester
