Students who have attempted 12 or more credit hours of credit courses and whose adjusted cumulative grade point average falls in the dismissal zone specified in the academic standing table will be dismissed. Students will not be subject to academic dismissal, however, until they have attempted at least 12 additional credit hours since their most recent change in academic standing (dismissal or probation).

First Dismissal - Students who have been dismissed one time from the college for academic reasons and who wish to be reinstated must:

1. Meet with an academic advisor to develop a suitable academic plan. The academic advisor will help the student identify strategies to assure academic success. The student will be directed to use college academic support services and encouraged to develop realistic goals.
2. After meeting with an academic advisor, the student will be permitted to register for courses. For the initial term returning after a first dismissal, readmitted students may register with the following restrictions:
   • Readmitted students may only register for courses offered in a 13-week or a 15-week term, either fall or spring.
   • Readmitted students will be limited to two courses which must be repeats of courses in which they earned D or F grades. The Student Success course (ACA 100 ) is strongly recommended and may be added as a third course.

Second Dismissal - Students who have been dismissed twice from the college for academic reasons and who wish to be reinstated must:

1. Sit out one 15-week term before being eligible for reinstatement.
2. Meet with an academic advisor to develop a suitable academic plan. The academic advisor will help the student identify strategies to assure academic success. The student will be directed to use college academic support services and encouraged to develop realistic goals.
3. After meeting with an academic advisor, the student will be permitted to register for courses. For the initial semester returning after a second dismissal, readmitted students may register with the following restrictions:
   • Readmitted students may only register for courses offered in a 13-week or a 15-week term, either fall or spring.
   • Readmitted students may only register for courses offered in a face-to-face format.
   • Readmitted students will be limited to two courses which must be repeats of courses in which they earned D or F grades. The Student Success course (ACA 100 ) is strongly recommended and may be added as a third course. Academic advisors may require ACA 100 as a condition of reinstatement.

Further Dismissals - Students who have been academically dismissed from the college more than twice shall not be reinstated. In extraordinary circumstances only, reinstatement may be granted by the Committee on Academic Standards.
