Students not meeting the standards of satisfactory academic progress or whose good standing is at risk due
to course failures or incomplete grades cannot participate in first or second year credit-earning electives.
Furthermore, students not meeting the standards of satisfactory academic progress or whose good standing
is at risk due to course failures or incomplete grades are expected to review and decide, with the assistance

terminate because they interfere with studying and which to retain because they play an important part in
personal need or development. To this end, a meeting with the Associate Dean for Student Affairs is
mandatory.
Students who do not exercise good judgment in managing their coursework with other activities may be
subject to restrictions with respect to enrollment in noncredit elective courses and participation in
extracurricular activities. Restrictions may be imposed by the Associate Dean for Student Affairs and/or
the Student Affairs Committee.

Students should be aware of their academic standing and balance their academic and extracurricular
