Probation
Candidates with a GPA below 3.0 after attempting at least 6 hours of coursework will be placed on probation. Failure to raise the overall grade point average to the required level of 3.0 within the next 12 semester hours of enrollment (including summer terms) or earning a GPA of 2.0 or lower in any probationary semester will result in suspension from Georgetown College for a period of one semester (spring, summer, fall). Candidates who are making satisfactory progress and have raised their GPA to at least a 2.8 after 12 semester hours of probationary status may make an appeal to the Dean of the respective program to continue the probationary period for an additional 6 credit hours. No candidate will be allowed to continue on probationary status beyond 18 credit hours from the time that the probation period began.
Suspension
Failure to raise the overall grade point average to 3.0 at the end of the probation period will result in suspension from Georgetown College for a period of one semester (spring, summer, fall). Having served the suspension, the candidate may apply for reinstatement to the Graduate program and must meet all current admissions criteria. After returning from suspension, the candidate will be placed on probation. A second suspension will be final. During the suspension period, no credit earned by the candidate at any institution will be honored by Georgetown College.
Academic Bankruptcy
Graduate Programs do not permit a candidate to petition for Academic Bankruptcy status.
