Academic Standing

Dean’s List

The Dean’s List consists of students who have achieved a semester grade point average (GPA) of 3.5 or higher in non-developmental courses. At the end of each semester, a report is run by the Registrar’s Office and letters are sent to students who have achieved the Dean’s List for that semester.

Probation/Suspension

At the end of each semester, the System’s office runs end-of-term processing. This updates GPAs and automatically puts students on probation or suspension. A student is put on Academic Probation if they earned below a 2.0 GPA at the end of the semester. A student is placed on Academic Suspension if they have received below a 2.0 GPA for three consecutive terms. A report is run by the Registrar’s Office at the end of the semester to see if any students fall in these categories. If they do, a letter is sent telling them of their status. Also, students who have been academically suspended from another college the semester/quarter before they apply to Gateway are put on academic suspension here. They must sit out one semester (summer semester does not count) and file an appeal letter with the Director of Admissions and Enrollment Management.
