Probation<br />
Students whose academic background is below <strong>the</strong> admission<br />
standards may be placed on academic probation (see pages 9-13).<br />
In addition, students who were admitted as regular full-time students<br />
will be placed on probation if <strong>the</strong>ir work at <strong>the</strong> university <strong>in</strong>dicates that<br />
<strong>the</strong>y need special attention.<br />
Students who are admitted or placed on academic probation are<br />
required to complete ASP-012, Methods and Motivation for University<br />
Studies, and will be limited to four courses plus ASP-012. Any year<br />
one student who atta<strong>in</strong>s a term GPA of less than 3.00 (D+) and has not<br />
previously completed ASP-012 must complete ASP-012 <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> next<br />
term. A year one student placed on academic probation (CGPA of less<br />
than 2.75) will be restricted to four courses plus ASP-012 or one-onone<br />
mentor<strong>in</strong>g with a member of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Support Department.<br />
Any student who has completed ASP-012 but still has a CGPA of less<br />
than 3.00 will be required to complete one-on-one mentor<strong>in</strong>g with a<br />
member of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Support Department.<br />
Any student who is not <strong>in</strong> good stand<strong>in</strong>g will be strongly<br />
recommended to take ASP-012 (<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> case of a first- or second-year<br />
student) or to complete one-on-one mentor<strong>in</strong>g with a member of <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Academic</strong> Support Department. If a student is dismissed and appeals<br />
that dismissal, <strong>the</strong> student’s participation <strong>in</strong> recommended and required<br />
conditions of probation and/or <strong>Academic</strong> Support Programs will be<br />
reported to <strong>the</strong> Appeals Committee.<br />
All students on probation are expected to give priority to <strong>the</strong>ir studies<br />
and <strong>in</strong> addition to <strong>the</strong> reduced course load (described above) are<br />
expected to limit <strong>the</strong>ir part-time employment and work study hours<br />
to no more than five hours per week. They are also expected to seek<br />
help <strong>in</strong> develop<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>ir academic skills and report regularly to <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
faculty advisor. All students on probation may participate <strong>in</strong> one<br />
extra-curricular activity at any one time. For <strong>the</strong> purposes of probation<br />
students, <strong>the</strong> university regards <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g as extra-curricular<br />
activities*: choir, applied <strong>the</strong>atre modules (both credited and audited),<br />
varsity and club sports, Student Senate, and all o<strong>the</strong>r activities<br />
sponsored by <strong>the</strong> university.<br />
*<strong>Academic</strong> requirements may apply.<br />
No student may cont<strong>in</strong>ue <strong>in</strong>def<strong>in</strong>itely on probation; unless a certa<strong>in</strong><br />
amount of progress and achievement can be demonstrated, <strong>the</strong> student<br />
on probation for four consecutive terms is subject to dismissal. The<br />
academic records of all students on probation will be reviewed after<br />
each term by <strong>the</strong> Registrar, on behalf of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards<br />
Committee, on <strong>the</strong> basis of policies established by <strong>the</strong> Senate.<br />
For <strong>the</strong> student who has been placed on academic probation a letter<br />
will be issued by <strong>the</strong> Registrar, on behalf of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards<br />
Committee, outl<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> specific conditions of probation <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />
m<strong>in</strong>imum term GPA required for <strong>the</strong> subsequent term. If this term GPA<br />
is not met, <strong>the</strong> student is eligible for dismissal. The conditions outl<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> letter supersede <strong>the</strong> conditions outl<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> progress schedule<br />
below. Decisions with respect to academic probation or academic<br />
dismissal are reflected on student transcripts <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> appropriate terms.<br />
Cont<strong>in</strong>uation and <strong>Academic</strong> Probation Requirements<br />
Year Level/Credits Required to Withdraw M<strong>in</strong>imum CGPA<br />

Year One and Year Two:<br />
After year one, students will be placed on academic probation if <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
CGPA falls between a 2.75 (D+ range) and a 4.00 (C-). They will rema<strong>in</strong><br />
on academic probation for <strong>the</strong>ir second year at Redeemer.<br />
Year Three and Year Four:<br />
If, after year two, <strong>the</strong>ir CGPA is lower than 4.00, <strong>the</strong>y will be subject to<br />
review. If a student had been on probation for his or her entire second<br />
year at Redeemer and his or her CGPA is still lower than 4.00, he or<br />
she will be required to withdraw. Students <strong>in</strong> this situation may appeal,<br />
and <strong>the</strong> Appeals Committee may elect to allow <strong>the</strong> student to re-enrol<br />
and repeat courses. In this case, <strong>the</strong> student may not take new courses<br />
until <strong>the</strong> m<strong>in</strong>imum CGPA for good stand<strong>in</strong>g (4.00) has been met unless<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rwise <strong>in</strong>structed by <strong>the</strong> Appeals Committee.<br />
However, if <strong>the</strong> student was only on probation for one previous term,<br />
and has a CGPA between 3.50 and 4.00, he or she will be allowed to<br />
cont<strong>in</strong>ue on academic probation until <strong>the</strong> next review period <strong>in</strong> May.<br />
A student on academic probation may not graduate.<br />
Dismissal of Year One Students After One Term<br />
Students who, after one term of study (m<strong>in</strong>imum of 3 courses/9 credits),<br />
possess a CGPA of less than or equal to 1.00 will be considered for<br />
academic dismissal. Action will be taken with all students <strong>in</strong> this<br />
category, regardless of whe<strong>the</strong>r or not <strong>the</strong>y have decided to withdraw.<br />
Any student who is dismissed will be eligible to appeal. Students will<br />
be given two class days to appeal a dismissal decision. If no appeal is<br />
requested, <strong>the</strong> student will be de-registered from classes and if liv<strong>in</strong>g on<br />
campus, will be required to move off campus immediately. The student<br />
will be eligible for a full refund of tuition and hous<strong>in</strong>g fees for <strong>the</strong> w<strong>in</strong>ter<br />
term and all f<strong>in</strong>ancial aid will be forfeited, accord<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> policies of<br />
<strong>the</strong> F<strong>in</strong>ancial Aid Office.<br />
