STANDARDS OF ACADEMIC PROGRESS

Good Academic Standing Students are considered in good academic standing if their Beacon College cumulative grade point average (GPA) is 2.00 or higher. Academic Warning Students will be placed on academic warning if their cumulative GPA falls below 2.00. The purpose of academic warning is to alert students to improve their academic performance and encourage their use of available academic support. Students placed on academic warning are required to meet with their Academic Advisor prior to future registration. Students on academic warning could jeopardize their financial aid eligibility, scholarship eligibility, and Veterans benefits. A student on academic warning may be limited to a reduced course load and/or may be required to take college readiness/developmental courses. Other remedial interventions may also be implemented at the recommendation of the student’s Academic Advisor, Learning Specialist, or the Vice President of Academic Affairs.
