Bachelor's and master's level students whose cumulative grade point average remains below satisfactory academic standing for four semesters of attendance will be academically dismissed from Walsh College for a period of one year.
Academic dismissal is calculated based on cumulative credit hours attempted and grades received at Walsh College. Academic dismissal is noted on the student’s academic transcript. A student who has been academically dismissed will be contacted by the registrar or designee, administratively dropped from all courses, and will be issued a full tuition refund including fees.
A bachelor's or master's level student may appeal an academic dismissal by submitting an appeal request. The appeal request must include supporting documentation and be sent to the registrar or designee. The registrar or designee will submit the appeal to the Enrollment Appeal Committee on the student's behalf and communicate the decision to the student.
A doctoral student who has failed to pass the Preliminary Exam and Proposal Presentation Defense after two attempts will be dismissed from the program. The student will be administratively dropped from all courses and will be issued a full refund including tuition and fees incurred that semester. The academic standing designation of dismissal will be noted on the student’s academic transcript.
