The academic progress of all students is determined at the conclusion of each fall and spring semester. A student who does not attain a cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 2.00 or more after a total of 45 semester hours have been attempted will be placed on Enforced Scholastic Withdrawal and may not enroll for the next long-term (fall/spring) semester. However, a student may make appeal to the Academic Dean and a special admissions committee for a hearing and under certain circumstances may not be forced to withdraw. The requirements for special admission shall be documented and agreed to by the student. A student who returns to the college subsequent to the date of the withdrawal status shall return on Scholastic Probation unless and until the cumulative GPA reaches 2.00 or more. If a student on Enforced Scholastic Withdrawal takes short-term (summer) classes, the GPA will be checked at the end of the summer term to determine effect on the Enforced Scholastic Withdrawal status.

Transfer students who seek to enter Jacksonville College in a long-term (fall/spring) semester with the equivalent status of Enforced Scholastic Withdrawal from their transfer institution are subject to this same policy.

Enforced Scholastic Withdrawal also takes effect when a student does not obtain an honorable withdrawal from the college.
