ACADEMIC STANDARDS
Probation, Suspension, and Dismissal An undergraduate student whose cumulative grade point average (GPA) is below 2.00 will be notified of academic probation as a warning that academic performance is below acceptable standards.
Academic suspension is the cancellation of enrollment eligibility for one trimester. Students are placed on suspension when their cumulative GPA is below the minimum required for continued enrollment compared to credit hours attempted at Franklin University, as indicated by the following:
20-29 Credit Hours Attempted Minimum GPA for Continued Enrollment 1.10
30-59 Credit Hours Attempted Minimum GPA for Continued Enrollment 1.50
60-89 Credit Hours Attempted Minimum GPA for Continued Enrollment 1.70
90-99 Credit Hours Attempted Minimum GPA for Continued Enrollment 1.90
100 and above Credit Hours Attempted Minimum GPA for Continued Enrollment 2.00
Required Standards of Academic Progress (SAPs) for financial aid recipients differ from the above scale. Students receiving financial aid should contact the Financial Aid office for clarification of these regulations.
Academic dismissal is cancellation of enrollment eligibility at Franklin University. Usually, dismissal occurs only after students have been placed on academic suspension, been reinstated and failed to achieve acceptable academic progress within a specified time.
Readmission Procedures Academically-suspended students seeking readmission to Franklin University are required to meet with the Registrar and attain specific academic goals for continued enrollment.
Students may appeal actions based on the University’s academic standards to the Academic Readmission Committee. Students must appeal in writing to the University Registrar and include permission to release their University records to the Committee. Appeals must be submitted at least two weeks prior to the start of a trimester. The Committee will require readmitted students to meet specific academic goals for continued enrollment.
Forgiveness Policy The Forgiveness Policy was designed to be used only by former students whose previous academic performance at Franklin University was extremely poor (as determined by a cumulative GPA lower than 2.0), but who wish to return to the University. Usually, persons seeking permission to use the Forgiveness Policy have not been students at Franklin University for several years. However, occasionally it is appropriate for permission to be granted to students who have no break in attendance.
This policy gives Franklin University students a one-time opportunity to have their GPA recalculated. Credit is granted for courses with a grade of “C” or better. The GPA is then based only on courses completed after implementation of the policy. To be eligible for any degree, students using the Forgiveness Policy must complete a minimum of 40 credit hours after implementation and are required to follow major program and degree requirements in effect when permission is granted. Questions regarding financial aid and veterans benefits should be directed to the Financial Aid office.
The Academic Readmission Committee has the authority to grant or deny permission to use the Forgiveness Policy. Students interested in further information should contact their Academic Advisor or the University Registrar no later than 30 days prior to the start of the trimester in which they request the policy to be implemented.
