A student must achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 to graduate. A minimum cumulative GPA of 1.7 as a freshman, 1.9 as a sophomore, or 2.0 as a junior or senior must be achieved to maintain satisfactory academic status at NYIT.
Probation I
The first time a student’s cumulative GPA falls below the minimum required, the student shall be placed on Probation I for the next regular semester. The student will receive a letter from the Office of the Registrar outlining available academic support services and requiring the student to meet with an academic advisor. Additionally, a student on Probation I status may be prevented by the academic chair or designee from registering for more than 12 credits in future semesters (or the minimum number of credits required for full-time status) until he/she is removed from probation.
Probation II
When a student is on Probation I and his/her cumulative GPA falls below the requirement for two sequential (not necessarily contiguous) regular semesters, the student shall be placed on Probation II for his next regular semester. The student will receive a letter from the Office of the Registrar outlining available academic support services and requiring the student to meet with an academic advisor. A student on Probation II status cannot register for more than 12 credits until he is removed from probation.
Dismissal
When a student’s cumulative GPA falls below the minimum required for three sequential (not necessarily contiguous) regular semesters, the student will be dismissed from the college. Dismissal is defined as being ineligible to pursue credit-bearing courses at NYIT for a period of two academic years or until a minimum GPA of 2.0 is earned for the most recent 24 credits taken at another accredited U.S. institution of higher education.
The decision of dismissal shall be automatically appealed to the Committee on Academic Probation and Dismissal. The committee may uphold the dismissal decision, recommend reversal, or may impose additional conditions for continuing registration. Students are limited to one appeal per semester and the committee’s decision is binding and final.
