Academic Standing

Academic Standing Guidelines

Undergraduate students whose cumulative Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) grade point average (GPA) falls below 2.0 after being in good standing are placed on Scholastic Probation 1. A student on Scholastic Probation 1 may enroll in no more than 13 term hours of coursework in a long term.

A student is removed from Scholastic Probation 1 after completing a term at TAMU-CC during which a TAMU-CC cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or greater is achieved. Students whose TAMU-CC cumulative GPA is below 2.0 at the end of their term on Scholastic Probation 1 will be placed on Scholastic Probation 2 as continued probation.

An undergraduate student whose term GPA and/or TAMU-CC cumulative GPA is below a 2.0 while on Scholastic Probation 1 is placed on Scholastic Probation 2. A student is removed from Scholastic Probation 2 after completing a term at TAMU-CC during which a TAMU-CC cumulative GPA of 2.0 or greater is achieved.

Students who earn a 2.0 term GPA, but whose TAMU-CC cumulative GPA is not above a 2.0, will be allowed to continue Scholastic Probation 2 in the subsequent term. A student on Scholastic Probation 2 may enroll in no more than 13 term hours of coursework in a long term.

Undergraduate students on Scholastic Probation 2 who earn less than a 2.0 term GPA and TAMU-CC cumulative GPA is below 2.0 will be placed on Academic Suspension 1 and suspended for one long term and intervening summer terms. Students on Academic Suspension 1 who do not attain a 2.0 TAMU-CC term and TAMU-CC cumulative GPA is below 2.0 are placed on Academic Suspension 2. A student suspended for the second time will be placed on Academic Suspension 2 and suspended for two long semesters and any intervening summer terms. Students who experience extenuating circumstances may appeal using the academic reinstatement appeal procedures and can be reinstated by the Scholastic Standing Appeals and Reinstatement Committee. If no appeal is granted, enrollment for the subsequent term will be administratively dropped.

After Academic Suspension 1 or Academic Suspension 2, students who re-enroll will be placed on Scholastic Probation 2 after sitting out the appropriate length of time as denoted by the suspension status. Students must achieve a minimum term GPA of 2.0 for that and all subsequent terms until a minimum TAMU-CC cumulative GPA of 2.0 is attained. Students will remain on Scholastic Probation 2 until a cumulative TAMU-CC 2.0 GPA is attained.

A third suspension results in dismissal from the University In most cases, a student who is dismissed is not re-admitted to TAMU-CC. Students may petition for a review of their dismissal case after a period of four long terms and intervening summer terms. Re-admission is permitted only in exceptional circumstances. Students may appeal using the academic reinstatement appeal procedures and must be authorized by the Scholastic Standing Appeals and Reinstatement Committee for reinstatement. If students do not attain the required GPA (as described above) after such re-admittance, the student is dismissed and may not petition for re-admission for a period of a minimum of five calendar years.

Note: Any student who has not been enrolled at TAMU-CC for one academic year, must re-apply for re-admission to the university. Please visit the Office of Admission for more information (http://admissions.tamucc.edu/former/index.html).
