Lethbridge Community
College supports academic excellence and encourages student success
through academic achievement. Students who do not meet minimum academic
standards will be placed on probation and may be suspended from
the College.
PROBATION
Program students who achieve a term grade point average of less
than 1.50 will be placed on probation for the subsequent term. Students
on probation will be allowed to register and remain in classes however:
- main campus
students on probation will be directed to report to the Program
Leader or Centre Team Leader to establish support mechanisms for
probationary students
- off-campus
students and distributed learning students will be directed to
report to their instructor/tutor in order to establish support
mechanisms for the probationary term.
SUSPENSION
Program students who achieve a term Grade Point Average of less
than 1.50 in an term subsequent to the probationary term will be
suspended from the College.
- Students
who are suspended form the College may be considered for return
to the College after one program term has elapsed, except under
extenuating circumstances and by approval of the receiving appropriate
LCC administrator.
- Students
suspended from the College for academic reasons who wish to return
to the program in which they have been enroled, after the lapse
of the required term, must submit a letter to the Registrar, requesting
reinstatement and providing a rationale to support that request.
The request for reinstatement will be considered by the appropriate
LCC administrator or their designate.
- Students
readmitted to their program after a suspension will be placed
on academic probation for the term in which they return.
Academic
suspension applies to students registered in programs and not
to Occasional Students.
Nursing Students
Please see the Academic Acceptability section listed in the Nursing
program description in this calendar.
LIMITATION
ON A COURSE REPEAT
Students who fail to complete a course with a passing grade after
two successive attempts will not be permitted to register in that
course for the succeeding College term (one year for Distributed
Learning Students) in which the course is offered, unless special
permission is obtained from the program head (or their designate(s)).
Students repeating
the same course and improving their grade will have the previous
grade removed from their GPA calculations. Students should request
this change through the Registrars Office.
Students earning
a Grade of D or less in a prerequisite course may not
register in the senior level course. However, courses transferred
to LCC may not be required to meet this criterion. Such determinations
may be made by the Centre Team Leader.
