Academic Suspension

At the end of any semester, degree-seeking students who were placed on academic probation during their previous semester of attendance and their cumulative GPA is still below 2.0 will be academically suspended. An exception is made if they are at least a 2.0 GPA for the semester without raising their cumulative GPA to a 2.0. In such cases, the student remains on academic probation. The effect of academic suspension is that the student may not re-enroll. The student may petition to continue to attend SCC if it is a subsequent semester.

**NOTE: If this is your last semester on academic warning, please refer to academic probation. If this is your second semester on academic probation, please refer to academic suspension.

After a student is suspended, in order to be reinstated, students appeal to the Dean of Student Services within two (2) weeks of receiving their letter of suspension. Following the first suspension, students are automatically reinstated after a lapse of three (3) semesters, upon notification of the Registrar of their intent to return. All students reinstated after suspension are reinstated on academic probation and will be suspended again unless they meet the requirements as explained under academic suspension (above).
