Suspension: A student on academic probation will be suspended from the institution for one semester at the conclusion of any semester or summer session in which he/she fails to earn a semester grade point average of 2.0. The statement Academic Suspension will be placed on the students permanent academic record. No student will be suspended before he/she has attempted 24 credit hours. A student who is suspended at the end of the fall semester must remain out of school for the spring semester. A student who is suspended at the end of the spring semester may attend the summer session. If the student raises his/her Delgado cumulative average to 2.0 during the summer session, the student may attend the fall semester. If the cumulative average remains below 2.0, or if the student does not attend the summer session, the student is suspended for the fall semester. At the discretion of the dean of the division in which developmental courses are taught, a student may, during his/her suspension semester(s), be allowed to enroll in developmental courses (courses numbered below 100 and/or CCSS 107). All students who are so allowed to register must be advised by a member of the developmental studies staff, and are restricted to skill remediation and College and Career Success Skills. Registration in college credit courses is not allowed, but students may be allowed to audit credit courses at the discretion of the developmental studies advisor with the concurrence of the dean of the division where the course is taught. Under this program, the student may enroll in a maximum of 13 credit hours per semester. A student may appeal to attend the College during his/her suspension semester. The appeal must be in writing to the Academic Appeals Committee on the students home campus. A student reenters the College on academic probation after being suspended academically. A student who is allowed to enroll during his/her suspension semester is also placed on academic probation and does not revert to the status of good standing. A student who is suspended for the second time for academic reasons must remain out of the institution for at least one fall or spring semester. The student may not automatically attend during the summer session. A student who has been placed on academic suspension and achieved a 2.0 grade point average for the semester following reinstatement must maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average in each subsequent semester of attendance until he/she achieves a Delgado Community College cumulative grade point average of 2.0. Failure to make a 2.0 grade point average in any subsequent semester before the cumulative 2.0 grade point average is achieved will result in another one semester suspension.
