Admissions > Policies and Procedures > Academic Standing

Academic Progress

To remain in good academic standing, students must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5.  

Academic Probation

A student’s record may be reviewed for the following reasons:

1. Cumulative average falls below 2.5

2. Two or more W's (withdrawals) are recorded

A student whose cumulative average falls below a 2.5 during any given semester; thereby, demonstrating an inability to make adequate progress towards graduation, may be placed on academic probation for the following semester or dismissed. 

Students are required to formulate a plan to regain good academic standing in conjunction with their academic adviser and to submit progress reports during the period of probation to the Dean of Academic Affairs. At the end of the following semester, the Dean of Academic Affairs will determine the appropriate action.

Mater Ecclesiae reserves the right to request a student to withdraw from the program when the quality of scholarship does not meet the required standard or when conduct is contrary to the purposes and ideals of Mater Ecclesiae.

Appeal Process

Students may request exceptions to this policy, as noted above, by presenting a written description of their extenuating circumstances and their plan for re-establishment of good academic standing to the Dean of Academic Affairs.  The Dean of Academic Affairs will advise the student in writing of the decision after review.
