ARC-PA Standard A3.14f
Students are expected to maintain all academic and professional program requirements. Decisions about a student’s dismissal from the program is based on a review of the student’s overall performance in the program. Reasons that may lead to dismissal include:
- Failure to maintain semester GPA 2.33
- Failure to maintain cumulative GPA 2.667
- Failure of any course or course components (and make-up if available) in the lock-step curriculum
- Unsuccessful remediation
- Continued unexcused absences
- Failure of deceleration requirements
- Unprofessional or unethical behavior
- Academic Integrity violation
- Failure of summative evaluation
If dismissal occurs as determined by the Academic Progress Committee (APC), the student receives a letter from the APC with procedural instruction. Students who are dismissed from the institution must contact the Registrar, Bursar, and Financial Aid offices to discuss their individual circumstances and determine any required next steps, including academic records, account balances, financial aid eligibility, and other applicable obligations.
Dismissal may be appealed in accordance with the appeals policy described in policies and procedures for student appeals.
