Students who are placed on probation by the Student Progress Committee (SPC) are required to adhere to any guidelines that have been determined by the SPC. This may include, but is not limited to:
- Refraining from participation in the PA Student Society or other student events.
- Temporary removal from any student society leadership positions.
- Refraining from participating in student-led extracurricular or service projects.
The SPC will reconvene with students who have been placed on probation within 45 days to reevaluate the student’s progress and compliance with recommendations.
The student may be allowed to progress in a single semester with less than a 3.0 GPA at the discretion of the Student Progress Committee. If the student does not raise their cumulative GPA to a 3.0 within one semester, then they will be dismissed.
The SPC may remove the student from probation and reinstate all privileges if the student has complied with the SPC recommendations and has met university and program academic/professional requirements.
