Academic Standing & Academic Dismissal

1. Full‐Time Status A full‐time student must maintain
   at least 12 credits during a semester, or at a
   minimum be fully enrolled in a program of study if
   the program of study is less than 12 credits for the
   semester.
2. Part‐Time Status Part‐time students will be those
   who are registered for less than twelve credits or
   less than fully enrolled in their program of study if
   the program of study less than 12 credits for the
   semester and the student is not taking general
   education courses. Stevens will accept part‐time,
   tuition‐paying, non‐resident students in general
   education, technical, and evening courses, provided
   vacancies exist in a particular area. The tuition rate
   is by credit hour.

Good Academic Standing Students must maintain all
of the following:

1. Earn an overall “C” average (2.0) cumulative grade
   point average (GPA).
2. Earn a “C” average (2.0) cumulative average in their technical majors.

Academic Probation
Any student who does not maintain an overall 2.0 cumulative GPA and a 2.0 cumulative average in his/her major at the end of any semester shall be placed on academic probation for the
