Academic Information & Process Cipriani College of Labour and Co-operative Studies
Cipriani College of Labour and Co-operative Studies strive to provide the highest quality of institutional and support services. Thus, students will be continually evaluated/assessed to ensure that standards of progress are achieved and maintained and in cases where they are not, to provide assistance to those who need it in the form of remedial work. To complete all programme requirements, students are required to meet Academic Standards of progress. A minimum cumulative grade point average of “C” (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) is necessary in all programmes. Students will receive written notification if they do not maintain a good academic standing. There are five categories of academic progress.
GOOD STANDING
A student is considered in academic good standing as long as the student maintains a 2.0 GPA or higher.
ACADEMIC WARNING
At the end of a semester, if the student fails to achieve at least a 2.0 GPA, he/she would be issued an Academic Warning letter. Such a student may be required to take fewer courses in the ensuing semester and may be required to repeat certain courses in which the student was unsuccessful. The student will be monitored closely until he/she has returned to a status of Academic Good Standing.
ACADEMIC PROBATION
A student who is in the status of “Academic Warning” and who fails to achieve a GPA of 2.0 the following semester will be placed on “Academic Probation”.
ACADEMIC SUSPENSION
A student on probation status may be academically suspended for one of two reasons:
- Failure to earn at least a 2.0 GPA during the semester after which he/she was placed on probation.
- Failure to successfully complete at least 50 % of the credits attempted during the year of academic probation. Such a student will be suspended for a semester and must seek academic assistance before petitioning for permission to be re-admitted. However, students will be eligible for admission to other programmes of the College.
RE-ADMISSION
To be re-admitted to CCLCS following a semester on “Academic Suspension”, a student must submit a letter to the Registrar, requesting re-admission. An appointment will be set up with the student to work out a course of action which will eventually return the student to a status of “Good Standing”. If readmitted, the student will again be placed on “Academic Probation” and all standards will apply.
