Department:    Enrollment Services
Contact:          John Hamblin, (541) 463-5686             hamblinj@lanecc.edu

The college believes that it has an obligation and a responsibility to help students meet their educational goals.  To meet this responsibility, the college will provide assistance to students who, for whatever reason, fail to meet the academic standards necessary to meet their educational goals.

ACADEMIC STANDARDS WILL BE DETERMINED BASED ON THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CREDITS  EARNED.  AS THE NUMBER OF CREDITS EARNED INCREASES, THE EXPECTED CUMULATIVE GPA STANDARDS INCREASE AS WELL, ACCORDING TO THE CHART BELOW:

Cumulative Credit Hours Earned   
Cumulative GPA  
 Percent of Credits
0 – 36  
 1.70   
*50%
37 – 100+   
 2.00
*50%

*In addition to the cumulative grade point average, students must complete 50% of their enrolled credits as of the eighth week of the term.

RESULTING ACTION FOR EACH CONSECUTIVE TERM IN WHICH A STUDENT FAILS TO MEET THE ACADEMIC STANDARDS:

A student who fails to meet the academic standards will receive an Academic Warning letter.  The letter will provide information on college services that might be helpful.

A student who fails to meet the academic standards a second consecutive term will be placed on Academic Probation #1, and a letter will be sent encouraging a counselor/advisor conference.

A student who fails to meet the academic standards a third consecutive term will be placed on Academic Probation #2, and again, a letter will be sent encouraging a counselor/advisor conference. 

A student who fails to meet the academic standards a fourth consecutive term will be dismissed from college credit classes and programs for one calendar year.  See the College Catalog for information on petitioning for early reinstatement.

REMOVAL OF PROBATION

A student who is placed on probation can be removed by exceeding the cumulative grade point average standard shown above.  Once removed from probation, students who do not meet the academic standards start again at the warning step.
