Academic Dismissal

The Klingler College of Arts and Sciences adheres to the University Academic Censure Policy, as outlined in the Academic Regulations section of this bulletin. 

In addition, internal transfer students whose ‘Required to Withdraw for Academic Reasons’ appeal is approved by the college are reinstated or readmitted as an undeclared major on probation for a minimum of one term and special conditions are prescribed in writing at the time of the transfer into the college. Internal transfer students who fail to fulfill the specified terms of the conditions, are required to withdraw for academic reasons at the end of the term and there is no guarantee any future appeal will be upheld.

College Academic Probation

Undergraduate students in the Klingler College of Arts and Sciences are expected to maintain a cumulative and term grade point average of 2.000. Students who do not make the progress necessary to meet university and college graduation requirements are subject to academic censure. Students may be placed on academic probation or are continued on academic probation for the following:

• A term grade point average (GPA) below 2.000
• Inadequate progress toward the major
• Inadequate progress toward B.A./B.S. degree requirements
• One or more grades of ADW, C-, D+, D, F, I, NC, U, UNC, UW, UY, W, WA, or WF
• A complete term withdrawal
• The violation of special conditions

College Academic Alert (CAA)

Students admitted to the Klingler College of Arts and Sciences are expected to meet college academic standards and maintain good academic standing. Academic performance is monitored carefully by the Committee on Scholastic Actions, and students either not maintaining steady progress or not demonstrating adequate achievement are barred from future registration by a College Academic Alert (CAA) registration hold.

The bases for committee review are:

• grade point average (GPA) deficiency
• inadequate progress
• grades of ADW, C-, D+, D, F, I, NC, U, UNC, UW, UY, W, WA, or WF
• the number of terms on college probation
• the violation of special conditions

Therefore, it is possible that students are barred from registration by a CAA even though the student’s cumulative GPA exceeds 2.000. Students concerned about their academic progress should consult the college office.

Students placed on CAA status are notified by letter or email of the committee’s decision and of the appeal process. If an appeal is approved, special conditions may be prescribed in writing at the time of the reinstatement or readmission into the college. Conditions may also be prescribed in writing in the case of students whose course performance or failure to follow academic advice warrants such action. All students to whom conditions have been specified are subject to committee review and possible CAA restriction should they fail to fulfill the specified terms. In addition, internal transfer students whose CAA appeal is approved by the college are reinstated or readmitted as an undeclared major on probation for a minimum of one term and special conditions are prescribed in writing at the time of the transfer into the college. Internal transfer students who fail to fulfill the specified terms of the conditions are subject to CAA restriction at the end of the term and there is no guarantee any future appeal will be upheld.

If an appeal is denied, students may request to enroll in another college via the process outlined in the University Academic Censure Policy of this bulletin, and if accepted, the CAA hold is removed after transfer into the new college. 

Unless the CAA is removed via the individual colleges' appeal process, students may not register for courses at Marquette and may be dropped from any classes for future terms in which they are registered.
