Academic Standing

Students are required to achieve a 2.0 or higher cumulative GPA to graduate with an Ensign College degree or certificate and 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.

• Good: A student is considered to be in good academic standing any time their cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher.
• Warning: A student is placed on warning after the first semester their cumulative GPA falls below 2.0. Students placed on academic warning are encouraged to meet with the Student Success team to develop an improvement plan.
• Probation: A student is placed on academic probation after the second consecutive semester their cumulative GPA falls below 2.0. Students placed on probation are required to meet with the Student Success team to establish or revise an improvement plan. A registration hold will be placed on the student's account until they meet with the Student Success team. Students are required to meet with their Success Advisor before registering for each semester until their cumulative GPA meets or exceeds 2.0. 
• Suspension: A student will be suspended after the third consecutive semester their cumulative GPA falls below 2.0. Students on suspension will be required to sit out for one semester and must complete additional requirements outlined by the Student Success team to be considered for readmission. Students returning after suspension do so on a probationary status and must maintain a 2.0 term GPA every semester thereafter to continue at the College.
• Academic Dismissal: Students who return after being academically suspended and fail to achieve a 2.0 term GPA will be academically dismissed. Students who have been academically dismissed may re-apply to attend Ensign College no earlier than two years from the date of their dismissal. In addition to submitting an application, a student in this situation will also need to submit an appeal to the Academic Standards Committee to be considered for readmission. Students should connect with a Success Advisor in the Student Success Center to pursue this process. 

The Office of the Registrar will notify students the week after grades are officially posted notifying them of their current academic standing. Students may also view their academic standing in MyEnsign.
