24 Standards of Wide opportunities are available for student advisement, both Progress within the departments and from the Office of Academic Advisement. However, each student is solely responsible for selecting courses which satisfy departmental requirements for a major, as well as the general requirements for graduation. Both sets of requirements are set forth in subsequent pages of this catalogue. Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with this information. Exemption from, or exception to, any published requirement is valid only when approved in writing by either the Registrar or the Dean of the College. The following guidelines are used by the Office of the Dean of the College to evaluate less than satisfactory progress. Warning is the likely consequence of: two grades in the D category in one semester, or one grade in the D category and a failing grade in one semester, or a failing grade in consecutive semesters or unsatisfactory scholarship as reflected in the semester grade point average. Probation is the likely consequence of: three grades in the D category in one semester, or two grades in the D category and a failing grade in one semester, or two grades in the D category in one semester following a semester with one or more failing grades, or two grades in the D category in one semester following a semester with two grades in the D category, or two failing grades in one semester, or unsatisfactory scholarship as reflected in the grade point averages of two consecutive semesters. Dismissal is the likely consequence of: four grades in the D category in one semester, or three failing grades in one semester, or one or more grades in the D category and two failing grades in one semester, or the accumulation of five grades below the C category in two consecutive semesters, or unsatisfactory scholarship (e.g., two grades in categories below the C category) during a semester of probation, or failure to obtain a 2.00 grade point average in the major field of concentration by the end of the sixth or any subsequent semester. Academic warning or probation ceases at the end of the semester for which it has been imposed, provided no further action is taken by the Office of the Dean of the College. A student who has been dismissed for academic reasons is usually not eligible for readmission to the College and may not register for additional course-work creditable toward a degree at Saint Anselm College without the written permission of the Dean of the College. Appeal of an academic dismissal may be made to the Dean of the College. The appeal must be made in writing and be received in the Office of the Dean within ten days of the date of the letter of dismissal.
