1978-1979 Academic Catalog

Academic Information Academic Warning and Suspension Any student with a cumulative grade point average of less than 2.00 will receive notification of academic warning. All students with forty-five hours at Cedarville are eligible for suspension if their cumulative average is less than 2.00. Faculty members and other counselors are readily available to discuss student progress. Students in academic difficulty must utilize these personnel to help them find solutions to their academic problems. They must submit to the Academic Dean's office the name of the counselor with whom they are working by the end of the first full week of the following quarter. Academic warning implies no particular restrictions on college activities, but should be considered as a serious warning that the student faces academic sus– pension unless his grades improve. The academic status of transfer students will be determined by using the total number of hours for which credit has been accepted in transfer at Cedarville Col– lege.
