Academic Standing
Students are required to achieve a 2.0 or higher cumulative GPA to maintain good academic standing. Students’ academic standing is determined and adjusted at the end of each semester with the following categories: Good, Warning, Probation, and Suspension.
Students will leave good academic standing anytime their cumulative GPA falls below a 2.0 at semester’s end. Students whose cumulative GPA falls below a 2.0 in three consecutive semesters will be suspended from the College and ineligible to return for a minimum of one semester.
- Students will be placed on Warning the first time their cumulative GPA does not meet 2.0.
- Students who do not meet good academic standing after having already been on Warning will be put on Probation.
- Students who do not meet good academic standing requirements after having already been on Probation will be put on Academic Suspension and suspended from the school for a minimum of one semester.
Students who have been academically suspended may return to Ensign College after sitting out at least one semester. They will return on a probationary status and must maintain a 2.0 term GPA every semester thereafter to continue at the college. They will remain on probation until their cumulative GPA exceeds 2.0. Students whose term GPA falls below a 2.0 in any given semester after Academic Suspension will be academically dismissed. Students who have been academically dismissed may re-apply to Ensign College no earlier than two years from the date of their dismissal.
The Office of the Registrar will notify students the week after grades are officially posted notifying them of their current academic standing.
