Academic Standing
A student is in good academic standing if the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is 2.0 or higher and if the student does not have a negative standing. In most cases, the University considers a student in good academic standing to be making satisfactory progress.
Daytona Beach and Prescott
Academic Warning
A student whose cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is less than 2.0 for one term is placed on academic warning. They are restricted to registering for 15 credit hours and they must repeat every course in which they received a grade of F, and it is recommended to repeat grades of D. However, students considering a program change should consult with the new Program Coordinator prior to scheduling any repeated courses. The academic program of a student on warning may be further restricted by the College Dean or designee.
Academic Probation
A student whose cumulative GPA is less than 2.0 for two consecutive terms is placed on academic probation.
A student who has a single term GPA of less than 1.0 will be placed on academic probation.
Students on probation are classified as students not in good standing and may not serve as elected members of the Student Government Association, may not participate in intercollegiate athletics as members of a University team, may not serve on the editorial staff of a campus publication, and will lose eligibility for financial aid programs. They are restricted to registering for 12 credit hours and they must repeat every course in which they received a grade of D or F. However, students considering a program change should consult with the new Program Coordinator prior to scheduling any repeated courses. The academic program of a student on probation may be further restricted by the College Dean or designee.
Students who are placed on academic probation will be allowed to complete any flight course in which they are currently enrolled. However, they will not be allowed to enroll in subsequent flight courses until they return to good academic standing. A first-semester student who has a term GPA of less than 1.0 will be required to develop a plan of study with their program coordinator prior to registering.
Academic Suspension
A student whose term GPA is below 2.0 while on academic probation will be suspended from the university. If the student maintains a term GPA greater than 2.0 and the student's cumulative GPA remains below 2.0, he or she will remain on academic probation.
A student on academic warning who has a subsequent term GPA of less than 1.0 will be suspended from the University.
Academic Dismissal
A student who has been suspended and readmitted is on probationary status until the CGPA has been raised to 2.0. If the term GPA falls below 2.0 during the probationary period, the student is dismissed. Any previously suspended student who has been restored to good standing but whose academic performance subsequently deteriorates to a level that would qualify for initial suspension is dismissed. Academic dismissal is final and the student will not be readmitted to the University. Residential campus students desiring to appeal an academic dismissal must submit a petition within 30 days of notification to the campus Registrar through ERNIE Central. The Registrar will forward the petition to the Academic Standards and Readmission Committee. Students will provide documentation to the committee and may appeal in person. The student will also have the option of arranging for representation by a faculty advocate to assist with the pleading of his or her case.
Dismissal for Cause
The University reserves the right to suspend or dismiss a student at any time and without further reason, if the student exhibits the following undesirable conduct:
- Actions that pose a risk to the health, safety, or property of members of the University community, including, but not limited to, other students, faculty, staff, administrative officers, or the student himself/herself.
- Conduct that disrupts the educational process of the University.
- Any other just cause.
Readmission
A student who has been suspended from the University for any reason may apply for readmission to the Office of the Registrar.
A student who has been academically suspended may apply for readmission after 12 calendar months following the suspension and after completing a minimum of 15 pre-approved hours of academic credit with a CGPA of 2.5 or higher from an accredited institution. If the University readmits such students, they will be admitted with probationary status.
A student who is on academic probation after re-admission from suspension will be dismissed from the university if their semester/term GPA falls below a 2.00.
Worldwide & Online
Academic Warning
A Worldwide Campus student whose cumulative or term GPA falls below 2.00 will be placed on Academic Warning for up to two consecutive terms.
Academic Probation
After a second consecutive term on Academic Warning, a student whose cumulative or term GPA remains below 2.00 will be placed on Academic Probation for up to two consecutive terms.
Academic Suspension
After a second consecutive term on Academic Probation, a student whose cumulative or term GPA remains below 2.00 for an additional term will be academically suspended from the University.
When a change of grade or the conversion of the grade “I” changes a student’s academic status, the previous academic status of warning, probation, or suspension is removed and does not become part of the student’s permanent record.
All ERAU coursework taken at the undergraduate level applies to a student’s CGPA, whether applicable to the current degree plan or not.
For students who have been academically suspended from the University, a written petition for readmission detailing the existence of any exceptional mitigating circumstances must accompany the application for readmission and fees. Suspended students are eligible to reapply for admission after completing a minimum of 15 semester hours of academic credit with a CGPA of 2.50 on a 4.00 scale or higher from an accredited degree-granting institution. A suspended student who wishes to be readmitted to another ERAU campus should apply for readmission to that campus through its Office of the Registrar or the equivalent office. Unless readmitted to the University, suspended students will not be permitted to take any further courses with the University. Student questions regarding next steps and/or reinstatement after a suspension should be directed to their academic advisor. Questions regarding the undergraduate suspension procedure should be directed to the Office of the Registrar, at worldwide.registrar@erau.edu.
Undergraduate students returning to the University on conditional-admission status who are placed on warning, probation, or suspension should speak with their academic advisor, who will work with the Office of the Registrar if status adjustments are necessary. A student on conditional-admission status who fails to satisfy the conditions of his/her admission may be suspended.
Undergraduate students on conditional-admission status should refer to the Undergraduate Conditional Admission section of the catalog for further information.
