ACADEMIC POLICY
Academic Suspension
A student who is on academic probation will be suspended for
academic reasons if at the end of any term the student fails to satisfy the
Provost that he or she is making reasonable progress toward a degree.
A student on academic suspension is not permitted to engage in an
exploration term project or to enroll in the College during the regular
term or summer term that follows immediately the date of suspension.
Courses taken at another institution during academic suspension are not
transferable to Birmingham-Southern College.
Disciplinary Suspension
A student on disciplinary suspension is not permitted to engage in an
exploration term project or to enroll in the College during a regular term
or summer term that occurs during the time of suspension. Similar to the
Academic Suspension policy, courses taken at another institution during
disciplinary suspension are not transferable to Birmingham-Southern
College.
Academic Dismissal
A student who has been readmitted to the College after academic
suspension may be dismissed from the College for academic reasons if he
or she continues to fail to make satisfactory progress toward a degree.
Withdrawal from the College
A student who is enrolled during any term may withdraw from the
College only with permission of the Provost. A student who discontinues
studies without permission of the Provost will receive an “F” in all courses
that term.
In order to obtain permission to withdraw, a student should first
consult the Office of the Provost and then complete the withdrawal form
and proper check out. If the student must withdraw for medical reasons, his
or her request must be supported by a physician’s certificate.
The College reserves the right to require at any time the withdrawal of
any student whose conduct or academic standing it regards as undesirable,
either for the sake of the student or the College.
See catalog section Admission to the College under Refunds for
information on refund of tuition to which a student may be entitled upon
withdrawal.
