Academic Status Review Committee

The Academic Status Review Committee reviews student records at the conclusion of each semester. A student who is failing to make adequate progress toward graduation may be warned, placed on academic probation, advised to withdraw or be suspended from Adrian College. This committee also reviews and acts on all academic petitions and Individually Designed Majors.

Academic Petition

Students may petition the Academic Status Review Committee for exceptions to rules concerning academic policies and circumstances. The committee will consider only those petitions that have first been reviewed by the academic advisor and that have been submitted far enough in advance that, if denied, the petitioner will have sufficient time for rescheduling or other appropriate action. Senior petitions dealing with graduation requirements must be submitted prior to the last semester of attendance.

Academic Status Policy

The Registrar’s Office reviews the academic records of all students at the conclusion of each grading period. Students whose grade points fall below a 2.0 or whose number of hours earned indicate unsatisfactory progress are subject to special review by the Registrar and the Academic Status Review Committee.

Students may be placed on academic warning, probation or suspension. Students who are on warning or probation, do an immediate withdrawal and reapply to the college may be readmitted in the academic status of which they left. Students who are not in good academic standing and withdrawal from the College will not be automatically readmitted. 

Academic Warning is a notice to the student of substandard performance and carries no sanction.

Academic Probation is a formal notice indicating academic improvement must occur in the next semester at the level indicated or the student will be suspended from Adrian College. 

Suspension is a notice of immediate severance from the College. Students on suspension may not enroll during the subsequent semester, but may petition for readmission in the following semester. Appropriate notices which indicate such academic status will be issued by the Vice President and Dean for Academic Affairs.
