3335-9-25 Academic probation.

(A) Any student who has accumulated fifteen or more deficiency points shall be placed on probation. The probation shall continue provided the student's college considers the student's progress to be satisfactory and shall be removed when the deficiency points are fewer than fifteen. The student shall be notified of probationary status by the dean of the college or the director of the school in which the student is registered, except as provided in rule 3335-9-27 of the Administrative Code. Such notification shall include a clear statement of what shall be considered to be satisfactory progress.

(B) Probation by special action. If at any time the preparation, progress, or success of a student in an academic program is determined to be unsatisfactory, the college or school in which the student is registered shall be empowered to place the student on academic probation. An undergraduate student admitted with conditions and who has not satisfied the conditions after earning thirty quarter credit hours through regular course enrollment at this university shall be placed on academic probation.

(C) Requirements and definition. In order to remain in good standing in the university a student must maintain a point-hour ratio (see rule 3335-8-26 of the Administrative Code) of at least 2.00. Deficiency points are applied only to the records of students whose point-hour ratio is below 2.00 and are defined as the number of credit points a student would have to earn to bring the student's point-hour ratio up to that level. Deficiency points may be calculated by subtracting the total number of credit points earned from twice the total number of credit hours attempted for which calculable grades ("A," "A-," "B+," "B," "B-," "C+," "C," "C-," "D+," "D," "E," or "EN") were given. (B/T 6/4/2004, B/T 6/7/2005)

3335-9-26 Academic dismissal.

If the student's college or school considers a student's progress as unsatisfactory in meeting the conditions placed on his or her probation, the college or school shall be empowered to dismiss the student from the university. An exception to this authority for undergraduate professional students shall be in accordance with paragraph (A) of rule 3335-9-23 of the Administrative Code. Notice of the dismissal shall be sent to the student by the dean of the college or the director of the school in which the student was registered for the quarter, except as provided in rule 3335-9-27 of the Administrative Code. No student shall be subject to academic dismissal unless he or she is currently on probation.

3335-9-27 Notice of dismissal.

Notice of dismissal from the university shall be sent by the dean of the college in which the dismissed student is registered.

3335-9-28 Reinstatement after academic dismissal.

Any student who may be reinstated by a college or school following academic dismissal shall be subject to such special requirements as may be determined appropriate by the dean of the college or director of the school. If the performance record of any reinstated student does not meet the conditions of probation specified at the time of reinstatement, then the college or school in which the student is registered shall determine whether the student is to be dismissed or continued on probation.
