Good Standing Policy
All students are expected to
maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher to be in Good
Standing. All students who fall below a 2.00 will receive
notification of either an academic warning or pending dismissal
from the Registrar's Office.
Academic Warning — Those students who fall below
a 2.00, but within the Academic Warning range appropriate to their
accumulated credit hours, will be required to meet with a
designated representative of their dean's office to determine an
appropriate course of action. Students failing to meet this
requirement or who
fail to pursue the recommended strategies over the course of the
next regular semester may be subject to academic dismissal.
Students with fewer than 19 total credit hours will not receive a
pending dismissal notice, regardless of their grade point average.
Such students with a GPA below 2.00 will be notified of Academic
Warning and will follow the procedures for students in this
category as described above.
Dismissal Hearing — Students who fall below the
Academic Warning range appropriate to their accumulated credit
hours will receive notice of pending dismissal. These students may
petition for academic probation by contacting the office of their
academic dean. Students who fail to apply for probation or who are
denied probation will be dismissed. Following dismissal, a student
must normally wait at least one semester before being considered
for reinstatement.
From 70 credit hours onward, failure to maintain a GPA of 2.00 or
above will result in a dismissal notice.

Only courses taken at Central Connecticut State University,
including summer session and winter session courses, are included
in calculating the student's cumulative GPA. Courses taken at
other institutions are
not included in the student's Central Connecticut State University
GPA. However, transfer credits will count
toward the total number of credits attempted for purposes of
academic standing.
An academically dismissed student may enroll through the
Enrollment Center/Office of Continuing Education as a
non-matriculated student and seek to bring the cumulative
grade-point average back to the good-standing level. Also, an
academically dismissed student may petition the academic dean of
their major for reinstatement.
After re-attaining good standing, as a result of work as a
non-matriculated student, a student may request readmission to
Central Connecticut State University as a matriculated student.
Consultation with the Office
of Admissions concerning deadlines for reactivation is advised.
Students concerned about their academic progress should consult
their academic adviser.
