A student who is already on Academic Probation status will be placed on Academic Suspension status if their cumulative GPA remains below 2.0 at the end of the next Fall or Spring semester of enrollment, and the term GPA for that Fall or Spring semester is also below 2.0.
A student placed on Academic Suspension is required to sit out the next long semester of intended enrollment unless a Suspension Appeal is completed by the stated deadlines and approved (Suspension Appeal for both Academic and Financial Aid Suspension is located in MyNCTC). Students approved for an Academic Suspension Appeal will be assigned an Advisor/Success Coach, be limited in the number of hours in which they can enroll, and have other obligations to meet during the appeal semester such as participating in College Success seminars and utilizing Career Services.
A student on Academic Suspension is notified of this status through Canvas communication, NCTC student and personal email, as well as a notation on the transcript and on the student’s MyNCTC dashboard.
A student placed on Academic Suspension status whose Appeal has been denied or who does not Appeal but rather sits out the next semester(s) (i.e., sits out Summer and/ or Fall if placed on Suspension after Spring or sits out Spring if placed on Suspension after Fall), will have a Registration Hold placed on the student’s account and must meet with an Advisor/Success Coach in order to re-enroll for the next eligible semester. Also, this student will automatically be placed on Academic Probation status upon re-enrollment at NCTC and MUST earn a term GPA of at least 2.0 in the first semester back in order to avoid returning to Academic Suspension status.
A student who is coming to NCTC on Academic Suspension from another college or university (as noted on the student’s official transcript) will be required to submit an appeal to the NCTC Admissions Office in order to be eligible for enrollment. If approved for enrollment, this student will automatically be placed on Academic Probation status at NCTC, and therefore MUST earn a GPA of at least 2.0 in the first semester at NCTC in order to avoid moving to Academic Suspension status.
Permanent Academic Suspension
NCTC does not permanently suspend students for poor academic performance, however the number of times a student has been placed on Probation, Suspension, and/or received an approved appeal will be taken into account for any future appeals and could impact approval to re-enroll.
