Reestablishing Title IV eligibility

A student may reestablish Title IV eligibility when their cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher and they have received passing grades for at least 67% of cumulative attempted credits.

A Student in Their First Term of Enrollment

If, in their first term of enrollment, a matriculated* student…

If	Then
Withdraws from all classes (not medical leave)	Dismissed, regardless of any consideration below
Earns less than 8 credits towards the degree	Dismissed, regardless of any consideration below
GPA < 1.5, no P/NP courses	Dismissed
GPA < 1.5, P/NP courses, completion rate < 50%	Dismissed
GPA < 1.5, P/NP courses, completion rate ≥ 50%	Probation (likely two-term)
GPA < 2.0	Probation (possibly two-term)

* If the student in question is a provisionally admitted student, the other criteria apply.

A student in the first term of enrollment, who fails to earn at least eight credits toward their degree and/or withdraws from all of their courses, will be dismissed from Antioch College.

A student in the first term of enrollment, who earns a GPA less than 1.5, who has also earned at least eight credits toward their degree, and who has not taken any courses graded P/NP, will be dismissed from Antioch College.

A student in the first term of enrollment, who earns a GPA less than 1.5, who has also earned at least eight credits toward their degree, who has taken courses graded P/NP, and who has a completion rate of less than 50%, will be dismissed from Antioch College.

Students in any of these situations can be reinstated if they are able to show that they can be academically successful at the college level. This may be accomplished by attending a community college or other institution for two terms, and earning the equivalent of 24 quarter hour credits (12 credits per term is recommended) with a minimum GPA of 2.0 and a minimum completion rate of 67%.

A student in the first term of enrollment, who earns a GPA of at least 1.5 but less than 2.0, will be placed on academic probation.

A student who earns a GPA of at least 1.5 but less than 2.0 in their first term of enrollment may need more than one term to raise their cumulative GPA to at least 2.0 and/or their completion rate to 67%. The student may be placed on academic probation for more than one term, as determined by APRC, to allow them a reasonable chance of correcting the deficiency.

In these cases, APRC will determine a benchmark and, possibly, other conditions the student must achieve at the end of the first term of probation in order to continue on probation for a subsequent term. This information will be included in the satisfactory academic progress letter (SAP letter) that informs the student of their probationary status. If the student achieves these benchmarks, they will remain on probation for the next term. If the student fails to achieve this benchmark, they will be suspended for the next term.

If a multi-term probation would require unrealistic expectations (based on the student’s performance history), the student will be dismissed rather than placed on probation.
