Our Best Answer - What are your academic policies?

Triton College closely adheres to principles of academic honesty and integrity. The academic honesty policy is designed to inform students and faculty of the expectations and procedures associated with the honest pursuit of a Triton College education. Overall, academic achievement is a product of personal commitment, and investigation of knowledge, and a pursuit of independent and honest work, both in and out of the classroom. All forms of cheating deprive the student of achieving true academic success and are therefore, considered a serious violation. Furthermore, all incidents of cheating will result in a disciplinary response from college officials.

Standards of Academic Progress Policy: The college is committed to helping students attain their educational goals. The Standards of Academic Progress are intended to identify students who seemingly are making little or no progress and help them correct academic weaknesses as early as possible. The standards include limits on the number of credits for which students may register and prescribe specific kinds of assistance. A student’s academic progress will be reviewed at intervals of each 12 semester hours attempted.

  • Academic warning — 6-12 semester hours attempted with completion of less than 50 percent of semester hours attempted or cumulative GPA of less than 2.00. Academic warning is indicated on the grade report.
  • Academic probation — 13-24 semester hours attempted with completion of less than 50 percent of semester hours attempted or cumulative GPA of less than 2.00. Academic probation is indicated on the grade report.
  • Academic suspension — 25-36 semester hours attempted with completion of less than 50 percent of semester hours attempted or cumulative GPA of less than 2.00. Academic suspension is indicated on the grade report. Students are required to discontinue enrollment for one semester (fall or spring). Students are eligible to apply for readmission to the college after the suspension period.
  • Academic dismissal — More than 36 semester hours attempted with completion of less than 50 percent of semester hours attempted or GPA of less than 2.00. Academic dismissal will be indicated on the grade report. Students are required to discontinue enrollment for one year. Students are eligible to apply for readmission to the college after the dismissal period (one year).
