All students whose cumulative grade average is below a "C" or 2.0 level and all students whose quarterly grade average is below a "D" or 1.0 level will be placed on warning as indicated below. All such students will not be eligible to participate in certain college-sponsored activities. (See Eligibility Standards.) Categories of probation are defined by grade point deficits below the total required for a "C" average. The deficit is reported at the bottom of the student's report of grades. Any questions should be directed to the Director of Academic Standards, Room 144, in the Administration Building. I. ACADEMIC WARNING (1 to 15 grade points below a "C" average). Whenever a student compiles a grade point total which is one to 15 points below the total necessary for a 2.0 average, he will be placed on warning. His adviser approval card will indicate the status to both the student and his adviser, both of whom should take steps to remedy the cause of low grades and prevent an increased grade point deficit. They should give serious consideration to limiting the total course load and should select classes in which the student has the highest probability of success. Students, regardless of their cumulative grade point average, who perform below a grade point average of 1.0 for any quarter will be placed on Warning. These students and other students on Warning whose record warrants special consideration will receive formal notification of their status and will be scheduled to visit with a counselor in the Counseling and Testing Center. 52 Academic Information II.
