Satisfactory Academic Progress (IIT Policy)
All students who are degree candidates are expected to maintain satisfactory academic progress. This includes maintaining satisfactory grade point averages and a satisfactory rate of progress toward the completion of their degree programs.
Students who do not maintain at least 2.00 cumulative and 1.85 current GPA and a 2.00 cumulative GPA in their major field are placed on academic probation. Their eligibility for financial aid also will be reviewed.
Degree-seeking students also are expected to maintain a satisfactory rate of progress. For full-time students, this means a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester applicable to their degrees. For part-time students, a satisfactory rate of progress will enable to them to graduate within 12 academic years after achieving degree-seeking status. Students who do not maintain a satisfactory rate of progress in a given semester are placed on probation the following semester. Their eligibility for financial aid also will be reviewed.
Students on probation are not permitted to:
| 1. |
Register for more than 15 credit hours per semester. |
| 2. |
Hold office in any student organization. |
| 3. |
Represent the university on any athletic team, student organization or committee. |
| 4. |
Participate in the cooperative education program. |
Students who are on academic probation for two consecutive semesters are subject to dismissal from IIT.
The progress of non-degree students also is reviewed and any student failing to maintain an acceptable record is subject to being placed on probation or being dismissed.
A student dismissed by the university can petition the Academic Standing Committee to review his or her case. The student must present substantial academic or other relevant new evidence not available at the time of dismissal in support of the petition for reinstatement. The chair of the Academic Standing Committee will determine whether the new documentation warrants a further review of the case. |
