6.5.1sr1 - SRTC Procedures: Academic Dismissal and Reinstatement

A student may be dismissed from his/her program or from Southern Regional Technical College for academic deficiency. If a student is dismissed for academic deficiency, no due process hearing shall be required.

  1. Students must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA to be in satisfactory academic standing.
  2. Students whose cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 will be placed on academic probation for the next academic term.
  3. The semester GPA must be 2.0 or above at the end of the probationary term to maintain satisfactory status.

Failure to maintain satisfactory status during a probationary term will result in dismissal. A student dismissed due to academic deficiency may reapply for admission after waiting one (1) full term.
