Additional General FERPA Guidance for Students
Academic Probation, Suspension, and Dismissal
The academic standards of Iowa Wesleyan University are based on a philosophy of maximizing student progress toward successful course and degree completion. Academic standard criteria are designed to monitor students’ progress so that students and college staff can intervene and explore options to assist students who have difficulty meeting minimum requirements for successful course or program completion.
Academic probation, suspension and dismissal are determined after the grading period at the end of each online term. In order to remain in good academic standing, you must meet the minimum GPA requirements. Students not making satisfactory progress will be placed on an academic status of warning, probation or suspension depending on their individual academic situation. More information about academic probation, suspension and dismissal can be found in the Iowa Wesleyan University Academic Catalogs.
