II. Scope

All GGC staff, faculty and students should be familiar with this policy. 

III. Compliance

1. A student on Academic Probation will be restricted to a maximum of 14 semester hours of coursework in the subsequent semester of enrollment and may not represent the college in any official capacity (student organizations, athletics, etc.).
2. Students on Academic Probation may also be subject to a loss of certain financial aid funds and should check with the Financial Aid Office regarding Satisfactory Academic Progress regulations for Financial Aid.
3. Students will remove themselves from probation by raising their GPA to the appropriate Minimum Cumulative Georgia Gwinnett College GPA.
4. Students who earn at least a 2.0 GPA during any semester in which they are on Academic Probation, but do not raise their Georgia Gwinnett College-cumulative GPA sufficiently to be removed from probation, will continue on Academic Probation (Continued Probation) and thereby avoid Academic Suspension.
