Academic Probation or Suspension
Students in probationary good standing may enroll for no more than 16 semester hours of coursework, and may be required to participate in certain academic support programs as a condition for continuance
in class.
Students who have been suspended for academic reasons may not apply for admission or readmission to Quincy University for one semester. Suspended students must apply through the Office of the Admissions for readmission to Quincy University. The application for readmission will be submitted to the Vice President for Academic Affairs for evaluation. A student’s campus citizenship will be a factor in determining whether readmittance will be granted.
Academic standing at Quincy University is based on the student’s cumulative grade point average in residence. The grade point average (GPA) is obtained by dividing the total number of quality or grade points by the total number of credit hours completed. Four quality points are given for every hour of "A", three for "B", two for "C", one for "D", and none for "F". (Also see grading scale). The chart shows the minimum requirements for Good Standing. A student who falls below the level of Academic Probation is subject to suspension from the University.
