A student is not subject to Academic Dismissal at the end of his or her first semester in a degree program.
A student will be dismissed from the college after two consecutive semesters with a GPA below 2.0 and with an overall cumulative GPA below 2.0.

STUDENT RECORDS/FERPA

FERPA (The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records and establishes the rights of students to inspect and review their education records and, in certain circumstances, the right to request the record be amended. The law limits the rights of institutions to disclose education records or information contained in such records without the student's written consent. There are exceptions when designated personnel within the institution may see the records in order to protect the health or safety of students or other persons.
