Probationary admission status is assigned to a student whose unweighted high school or college GPA is between 2.00 and 2.49.

Students on probationary status will not be considered for professional degree programs. Probationary status allows a student up to two trimesters to improve his or her GPA while taking general education courses at FHCHS. The student must achieve an average GPA of 2.50 on 12 hours of college-level credits within two trimesters to be granted regular admission status. If the student’s GPA has not improved by this time, he or she may be subject to dismissal.

While on probation, a student may not take more than 12 credit hours per trimester without the permission of his or her advisor. Students placed on probation are required to successfully complete the Student Success course (SKLS 101). Additionally, students must participate in the Program Assisting Student Success (P.A.S.S.) provided by the Student Success Center. The Academic Review Committee will consider the student’s academic progress at the end of each trimester.

Students accepted on probation will not be eligible for Federal Stafford or PLUS (Parent) loans during their first trimester. They will become eligible for loans in their second trimester if they have a minimum 2.00 GPA and have successfully completed 60% of the credits they have attempted. In most cases, the loan will be retroactive to the beginning of their first trimester on probationary status.
