Standards of Progress (Saint Anselm College, Academic Catalogue P. 29)
The following guidelines are used by the Office of the Dean of the College to evaluate less than satisfactory academic progress.

• Warning is the likely consequence of:
  • two grades in the D category in one semester, or
  • one grade in the D category and a failing grade in one semester, or
  • a failing grade in consecutive semesters, or unsatisfactory scholarship as reflected in the semester grade point average.

• Probation is the likely consequence of:
  • three grades in the D category in one semester, or
  • two grades in the D category and a failing grade in one semester, or
  • two grades in the D category in one semester following a semester with one or more   failing grades, or
  • two grades in the D category in one semester following a semester with two grades in the   D category, or
  • two failing grades in one semester, or
  • unsatisfactory scholarship as reflected in the grade point averages of two consecutive
    semesters.

• Dismissal is the likely consequence of:
  • four grades in the D category in one semester, or
  • three failing grades in one semester, or
  • one or more grades in the D category and two failing grades in one semester, or
  • the accumulation of five grades below the C category in two consecutive semesters, or
  • unsatisfactory scholarship (e.g., two grades in categories below the C category) during a   semester of probation, or
  • failure to obtain a 2.00 grade point average in the major field of concentration by the end   of the sixth or any subsequent semester.

Academic Warning or Probation ceases at the end of the semester for which it has been imposed provided no further action is taken by the Office of the Dean of the College.

A student who has been dismissed for academic reasons is usually not eligible for readmission to the College and may not register for additional coursework creditable toward a degree at Saint Anselm College without the written permission of the Dean of the College. Appeal of an academic dismissal may be made to the Dean of the College.  The appeal must be made in writing and be received by the Dean within ten calendar days of the date of the letter of dismissal.

Students who have not maintained an acceptable scholastic standing may not run for elective office in student organizations, participate in intercollegiate athletic contests, or represent the College at public events.
