ACADEMIC STANDING AND ADVANCEMENT POLICY INTERIOR DESIGN TECHNIQUES PROGRAM

To be in good standing and to register unconditionally, students must meet the requirements of the College Academic Standing and Advancement Policy, as well as the Program requirements.

College Policy

Academic Standing

To be in good standing and to register unconditionally:

• Students must have passed more than 50% of their courses for the year (not including summer school).
• Students admitted in January must pass more than 50% of their courses in that semester.
• Students must also meet the standards of their particular program. If that policy is more stringent than the College policy, the program policy (DEC or AEC) takes precedence.

Students who do not fulfil the above conditions may register only with the permission of the College Academic Standing Appeals Committee.

Students denied permission to register under this section have a right to appeal to the College Academic Standing Appeals Committee.

Program Policy

Academic Standing

• Students who fail the same Specific Education (510, 520, 570) course twice will be expelled from the program.
• Students who fail 4 or more Specific Education courses in a semester will be expelled from the program.

Students who do not satisfy the criteria of this Academic Standing Policy will be expelled from the Program and the College. The expelled student has the right to appeal the expulsion to the College Academic Standing Appeals Committee.

Advancement

• Students must pass all Specific Education (510, 520, 570) courses in a semester before registering for Specific Education courses of the following semester.
• Students may not advance to the 5th semester if they have more than five (5) General Education courses left to complete.

Students in the program who are prevented from advancing in their Specific Education courses may continue taking General Education courses and must either:

1. 1. Submit an “Intent to Continue in Current Program” form to the Registrar’s Office by March 1 or November 1, as appropriate, in order to resume taking Specific Education courses in the following semester.

      OR

   2. Submit an online Program Transfer request by March 1 or November 1, as appropriate, in order to enroll in a different program.

Students not taking any courses in a semester must reapply to the College by the application deadline in order to be part of a program of study.

Exceptional Circumstances

In extenuating circumstances, the Program Coordinator may recommend an exception to the Program Academic Standing and Advancement Policy to the Program Dean for approval. This recommendation must be accompanied by a revised Progression Chart.
