Weatherford College has three academic terms in which academic standing is calculated, fall, spring, and summer. Good Academic Standing is defined as a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or greater and a term GPA of 2.00 or greater. Students whose work does not meet the minimum academic standard at the end of a term are placed on scholastic probation during the next term for which they are enrolled.
Requirements for a student on scholastic probation:
- Enrollment must be assisted by an academic advisor.
- An individual academic plan will be created by an advisor.
- An academic advisor can place restrictions on the number of hours and selection of classes.
A student will remain on scholastic probation until their cumulative GPA is 2.00 or greater so long as their term GPA is 2.00 or greater. A student who withdraws from all coursework while on probation will continue on probation for the next enrollment term.
A student on scholastic probation whose cumulative GPA is below 2.0 and fails to maintain a 2.0 Term GPA will be placed on Academic Suspension for the next term of enrollment. A student on academic suspension must make their intent to enroll before the Academic Appeals Committee or Designated Academic Advisor.
