Academic Standing


Continued enrollment in Young Harris College is a privilege that is granted to a student who is making satisfactory academic progress toward a degree. A degree-seeking student enrolled at the College is in good academic standing unless placed on academic probation or suspension.

Academic Probation

Degree-seeking undergraduate students are placed on probation when their academic performance falls to a level that endangers their progress toward completing a degree from the College. Each student’s academic performance must meet certain minimum requirements for the student to remain enrolled at YHC. Students must maintain a 2.00 cumulative GPA, regardless of credit hours attempted, in order to remain in good academic standing.

When a student’s academic level of achievement falls below a 2.0 gpa at the end of any semester of enrollment, the student is placed on probation. A student is removed from probation at the end of the term in which the cumulative grade point average is at or above 2.0. Students placed on academic probation may use the summer semester to return to good standing for the fall semester. Students are suspended from the College at the end of the semester on probation if the student’s cumulative grade point average is not a 2.0 or higher.

When a graduate student’s academic level of achievement falls below the program’s minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 at the end of any semester of enrollment, the student is placed on probation. A student is removed from probation at the end of the term in which the program’s cumulative grade point average is above the required level as specified above.

Academic Suspension

Degree-seeking undergraduate and graduate students are suspended from the College at the end of the semester on probation if the student’s cumulative grade point average does not meet the minimum requirement stated above.

Suspension means a required separation from the College for the fall or spring semester immediately following the semester in which the suspension occurs. Students placed on academic suspension at the end of the spring semester may use the summer semester to meet the minimun standards to be reinstated for the fall semester. Students may appeal for continued enrollment. Notice of suspension is placed on the student’s permanent academic record. Suspension does not extend the time to make up an incomplete grade.

Students who have been academically suspended may apply for readmission through the registrar’s office after one semester. Students who are readmitted to the College after suspension are admitted on probation and subject to the rules of probation.

Academic Dismissal

Degree-seeking undergraduate and graduate students who are suspended for the second time are academically dismissed from the College and are not eligible for readmission.
