Retention Program

Retention Program
Kay Landrum, Director of Retention

Taken from the 2003-2004 Academic Catalog:

Any student who does not earn for his/her work at Cornerstone University a cumulative grade point average in their classification of 1.50 or better for freshmen (0-31 credits), 1.70 or better for sophomores (32-6 credits). And a 2.00 or better for juniors and seniors (64+ credits) will be placed on academic probation.

The Academic Appeals Committee will notify each student placed on academic probation at the close of the semester. A student on academic probation will not be allowed to carry more than 14 credit hours and may be required to enroll in remedial courses. The purpose of probation is not designed to punish, but rather to serve as an indication to students that they are not progressing at a satisfactory rate toward graduation. Thus co-curricular activities will be limited in order that more time is devoted to academic concerns. During the probationary period, the student will not be allowed to participate in higher-level student leadership positions and will be restricted to one extracurricular activity (i.e. athletics, drama production, or off campus music performances).

Students who, after one semester of academic probation, do not reach the cumulative grade point average outlined for their class standing will be academically suspended. Students on suspension may be readmitted after one semester (or other specified length of time) or by petitioning the Academic Appeals Committee. In addition, any student academically suspended for the second time shall be dismissed with the right of an appeal for re-admittance through the Academic Appeals Committee.
