Academic Standings
Probation & Suspension
A student who fails to maintain the required 2.0 cumulative grade point average will be placed on academic probation. A student who fails to improve his or her academic performance after being placed on probation will be placed on academic suspension or dismissed from Ogeechee Technical College.
Once placed on academic suspension, a student will not be allowed to enroll for a minimum of one semester. At the end of the one-semester suspension, the student may re-enroll in classes. During subsequent semesters, the student must make satisfactory academic progress to prevent an additional academic suspension.
A student who is placed on academic suspension may submit an appeal to the Academic Dean over his/her program to request an approval to enroll in classes during the semester of suspension. Upon approval, the student will be allowed to attend classes during the semester of suspension. If the student does not achieve the required 2.0 cumulative GPA the following semester, the student will remain on academic suspension and must submit an appeal to attend classes. If the suspension appeal is denied, the student will not be allowed to attend classes during the semester of suspension.
Students will be advised and counseled as to academic deficiencies and given official notification of academic probation/suspension status. Academic probation or suspension is indicated on the student’s transcript via Banner Web and recorded on the student’s permanent academic record.
*In circumstances dealing with academic misconduct or a violation of the Model Student Conduct Codes, a student may be dismissed from an academic program or Ogeechee Technical College without first being placed on probation.
