Academic Catalog 2026-2027

Academic Catalog 2026 - 2027

Academic Dismissal Students who fail to achieve a 2.0 or higher semester GPA at the end of their probation semester will be dismissed from the college. A dismissal letter will be sent to the student and a copy to the student’s parents with the student’s consent in accordance with FERPA requirements. Pace of Progress Policy Pace of Progress is based on credit hours completed by full-time students. Full-time students must successfully complete 67% of the course work attempted. Failure to do so can result in dismissal from the College. Grades of I, F, W, WF, WP, or NP are attempted courses and not counted as completed. In general, full-time students, and especially scholarship recipients, should complete 24 credit hours each academic year. College Withdrawal A student, who wishes to withdraw from the College, must complete a College Withdrawal Form or a Leave of Absence Request Form. A student will not be considered officially withdrawn unless one of these forms are complete and filed with the Registrar’s Office. Official transcripts and other student records will not be released until the student is officially withdrawn from the College. Retroactive Medical Withdrawal A Retroactive Medical Withdrawal allows a student to be withdrawn for health reasons for a prior term. Retroactive Medical Withdrawals may be considered when there are documented medical/mental health circumstances which may have substantially impacted a student’s ability to successfully meet their academic requirements and receive credit for the term. A Retroactive Medical Withdrawal is different from a Medical Leave of Absence where the student is seeking withdrawal from courses while still enrolled in those courses. If approved, the student will be withdrawn from all courses for the term and a grade of “W” entered for all courses. There are no partial retroactive withdrawals; a student approved for a retroactive withdrawal will lose credit in all courses for the relevant term. The deadline to apply for a retroactive medical withdrawal is thirty (30) calendar days following the last day of class for term in which the student is requesting the Retroactive Medical Withdrawal. The refund policy stated in the Academic Catalog will apply. Re-Enrollment Previously enrolled students, who have been away from Beacon College for less than two (2) years, should contact Stephanie Liebowitz, the Director of Enrollment Services & Financial Aid to re-enroll. The Re-Enrollment Committee will determine a previously enrolled student’s eligibility for re-enrollment, and whether supplemental paperwork, additional documentation, and/or an interview are required. Re-enrollment is not guaranteed to any applicant.
