Academic Eligibility

Continued enrollment at Virginia Tech is a privilege granted so long as the student is making satisfactory

progress toward a degree, maintenance of the required minimum Grade Point Average (GPA), and compliance

with all regulations stipulated in the

University Policies on Student Life.

The minimum standard for good standing is eligibility to enroll. The required minimum grade point average is

2.00. Students on academic probation and warning are eligible for continued enrollment and good standing

(absent any violations of regulations stipulated in the

University Policies on Student Life).

Academic Warning: Students earning less than a 2.0 term GPA, but with a cumulative grade point average of

2.0 or higher, will be placed on academic warning without notation on the academic transcript. Students on

academic warning will be required to consult with the appropriate undergraduate assistant or associate dean

of their college and to sign an academic contract. Failure to complete an action plan (academic contract) may

result in prohibition from future enrollment(s).

Academic probation is imposed when the cumulative GPA is less than 2.00; academic probation is lifted when

cumulative GPA is at least 2.00. Academic performance will be reviewed at the end of each regular semester

(fall and spring).

A student on

probation:

1. may take no more than 16 credits per semester;

2. may be required (at the discretion of individual colleges) to consult with an advisor before beginning a

probationary semester, and to sign an academic contract acknowledging his/her performance is not meeting university standards and stating what actions she/he is committed to taking to improve performance. First suspension will be imposed whenever one of the following occurs:

1. A student on academic probation has a cumulative GPA less than 2.00 for the first 2 semesters (fall,

spring) of enrollment; or

2. A student has 2 consecutive semesters thereafter with a cumulative GPA below 2.00.

First Suspension (Fall): A student who is placed on first academic suspension at the end of fall semester will

be suspended from continued enrollment through the end of the following spring semester.

Note: Students

placed on first academic suspension at the end of fall semester are eligible to return the subsequent first

summer, second summer, or fall semester. First Suspension (Spring): A student who is placed on first academic suspension at the end of spring semester will be suspended from continued enrollment through the end of the following fall semester. Note: students placed on first academic suspension at the end of spring semester may NOT enroll in the immediately following summer session.

A student must earn a minimum 2.00 semester GPA the first semester back and raise the cumulative GPA to

at least 2.00 by the end of the second semester back or earn a 2.50 GPA for every semester following the

suspension until cumulative GPA is 2.00 or greater. A student will be placed on second academic suspension for failure to meet returning performance requirements. Second Suspension (Fall): A student who is placed on second academic suspension at the end of fall semester will be suspended from continued enrollment through the end of the following fall semester. Note: students placed on second academic suspension at the end of fall semester may NOT enroll in the immediately following summer session.

Second Suspension (Spring):

A student who is placed on second academic suspension at the end of spring

semester will be suspended from continued enrollment through the end of the following spring semester.

Note: students placed on second academic suspension at the end of spring semester may NOT enroll in the immediately following summer session. The same returning performance requirements apply for second suspension as for first suspension.

Final Suspension:

A student will be permanently dismissed for failure to meet returning performance requirements after a second academic suspension.

Academic Eligibility Appeals

The University Appeals Committee is comprised of the associate deans of undergraduate studies of the academic colleges and one faculty member appointed by the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Academic

Affairs. A representative of the Dean of Students Office participates as a non-voting member of the committee

to provide information and background available through the Dean of Students Advocacy team. The University

Appeals Committee is an advisory committee to the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Academic Affairs.

Students who are suspended due to academic eligibility at the end of Fall or Spring terms may appeal their

suspension to the University Appeals Committee. Any appeal for exceptions to the policy must be based on

clear extenuating circumstances beyond a student's control that negatively impacted academic performance. If

an appeal is based on physical, psychiatric, or disability/learning disability reasons, the appeal must be

reviewed by the Health Evaluating Committee. A recommendation letter from the appropriate office is required

to complete an appeal petition.

Students must complete an academic appeals petition and submit all required documentation to the associate

dean of their major college by the published college deadline. Failure to meet the published deadline results in

the loss of opportunity to appeal for the term. Students have a right to appear in person at the appeals

meeting. Students may not bring an outside advocate to an appeals meeting.

Full instructions and forms for academic appeals are available on each academic college website along with

the dates of the academic appeals meetings. The associate dean of the student's major college may require a

preliminary meeting to discuss the appeal. The associate dean also may establish an independent submission

deadline prior to each University Appeals committee meeting.

If the University Appeals Committee denies an appeal, the student may request further consideration of the

academic appeal by the provost's representative. The decision of the provost's representative is final.
