ATEP Student Academic Performance and Retention Policies

ATEP Specific Academic Standards

To remain in Good Academic Standing within the ATEP students are required to maintain a minimum within-major cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.5 and earn a minimum grade of C in all within-major courses.

Students not meeting the minimum academic standards required to remain in ATEP Good Academic Standing within the ATEP will be placed on Academic Warning. To regain ATEP Good Academic Standing within the ATEP students must improve their within-major GPA to greater than 2.5 and earn a minimum grade of C+ in all within-major coursework during the following semester.

Students failing to demonstrate significant improvement of their within-major GPA, (> 2.5) and meet all minimum within-major academic requirements by the conclusion of the semester in which they are placed on ATEP Academic Warning will be placed on ATEP Academic Probation. Students placed on ATEP Academic Probation will have one semester to raise their minimum within-major GPA to 2.5 or greater. Failure to meet minimum within-major academic standards after one semester on ATEP Academic Probation will result in the students being placed on ATEP Academic Suspension.

Students placed on ATEP Academic Suspension will be removed from the clinical education portion of the Professional Phase of the ATEP and will not be permitted to register in higher-level ATEP clinical courses or participate in clinical experiences. Students will be required to repeat the within-major coursework in which they received a grade of C or below and achieve a minimum GPA of 2.5 to be reinstated to the clinical education portion within the Professional Phase of the ATEP.
