Academic Status
Academic status is advisory information to students about their current academic level of performance at Savannah Technical College. The academic status is based on a 4.0 grading system when calculating the grade point average (GPA). A student attending the college is expected to meet specific academic standards. These standards stress the importance of successful student performance.
Good Academic Standing
A student is considered in good academic standing if he/she maintains a GPA of 2.0 or above.
A student is placed on academic probation when his/her quarterly GPA is below a 2.0. Academic probation status is removed at the end of the quarter, if the student obtains a quarterly 2.0 GPA or above. Academic probation is noted on the student's transcript.
Academic Suspension
Academic Suspension
A student, who does not maintain a quarterly GPA of 2.0 for the second consecutive quarter, is placed on academic suspension. The academic suspension entails enrollment termination for one (1) quarter before a student applies for re-admission. A student who is academically dismissed twice from any program of study may not re-enter that program of study.
A student who is unsuccessful passing an AHS or program specific course (MAS, SUR, DEN, NSG, or NPT) in any Allied Health degree/diploma program may repeat the course once. However, if a second failure occurs in that course or any other AHS or program specific course, the student will be dropped from the program. The student must then wait for one (1) year before reapplying for re-entry into the program, or any other Allied Health degree/diploma program. Academic suspension will be noted on the student's transcript.
Academic Suspension Appeal Process
Academic suspension may be appealed (in writing) to the Executive Vice President of Instructional Services. If the appeal is granted, the student will be permitted to enroll with a reduced course load as approved by the Executive Vice President and the student's faculty advisor.
