| Academic Policies - Academic Probation and Dismissal A student will be placed on academic probation on the basis of an unsatisfactory Cumulative Point Average (CPA). Four checkpoints are established at 12, 24, 38, and 48 non-credit and credit hours. A calculation of the CPA is made in a semester in which non-credit and credit hours attempted are equal to or exceed the checkpoint value. No CPA checks are made until the “non-credit/credit hours attempted” checkpoint is reached. Once a student has entered a checkpoint, CPA checks are made each semester to determine the student’s academic standing. If the CPA falls below the probation level, the student will be placed on probation.

| Non-Credit/Credit Hours Attempted | Probation Level | |
| 12-23 | Below 1.4 CPA | |
| 24-37 | Below 1.6 CPA | |
| 38-47 | Below 1.8 CPA | |
| 48 and above | Below 2.0 CPA | |

A student on probation who achieves a 2.00
semester grade point average for every semester through the following
checkpoint will be permitted to continue through to the next checkpoint in
an attempt to bring the CPA up to acceptable minimum standards. If a student on probation is unable to achieve a 2.00 semester grade point average at the conclusion of the probationary semester (summer and winterim sessions included), he/she will be dismissed and will not be eligible to take any courses for one semester following the dismissal (summer and winterim sessions not included). Such a dismissal may be appealed to the Academic Review Committee. If the Academic Review Committee permits the student to return to County College of Morris, after a dismissal he/she will return on a probationary status and, if dismissed a second time, will not be eligible to take any courses for one year. After one semester on dismissal, a student may apply for reinstatement to the college. The student will return on a probationary status and, if dismissed a second time, will not be eligible to take any courses for one year.
