Academic Probation and Suspension
All students must maintain a satisfactory level of academic achievement in order to remain in good standing at Ranger College. This level of academic achievement is determined on the basis of each student’s cumulative grade point average, calculated on the basis of all academic work attempted at Ranger College and/or presented for transfer. Developmental coursework is included.
Any student failing to maintain the minimum academic requirements listed below will be placed on academic probation.
- On 15 semester hours or less attempted, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of not less than 1.50.
- On 16 to 30 semester hours attempted, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of not less than 1.75.
- On 31 semester hours or more attempted, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of not less than 2.00.
A 2.00 cumulative grade point average is required on all courses presented for graduation. Any student who is placed on probation may remain in school on a status of “probation continued” if they make a 2.0 grade point average in the previous term even if the cumulative is not at the academic requirements below.
- On 15 semester hours or less attempted, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of not less than 1.50.
- On 16 to 30 semester hours attempted, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of not less than 1.75.
- On 31 semester hours or more attempted, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of not less than 2.00.
A student on probation will remain on probation until that student’s grade point average for the previous semester has raised his or her cumulative grade point average to a 2.00 or above.
Students who are on academic probation and do not meet the requirements for “probation continued” status will be placed on academic suspension. A student placed on academic suspension by Ranger College or any other institution will not be permitted to enroll or re-enroll until one long semester (Fall or Spring) has transpired.
Students returning from academic suspension will be admitted on academic probation. Athletic eligibility and financial aid requirements are different in some cases from academic progress requirements. Athletic eligibility questions should be referred to the head coach or Athletic Director. Financial aid eligibility questions should be referred to the Financial Aid Director.
Allied Health students should consult their respective program handbooks for scholastic requirements of their program.
Veterans should consult the Registrar for scholastic requirements of the Veterans Administration. Veterans not making satisfactory progress will be reported to the Veterans Administration at the end of the semester. Veterans who drop a course or withdraw from school will be reported immediately to the Veterans Administration.
