ACADEMIC POLICIES AND INFORMATION

Academic Advising New students are assigned a Freshman Advisor upon entering Maritime College through the LEAD 101 program. At the beginning of the sophomore year, students are assigned a faculty advisor from their major department. (Note: transfer students typically are advised by Academic Services upon entering Maritime College.) Advisors assist students in exploring academic and professional opportunities offered at Maritime and guide students in making appropriate decisions about their area of study and semester schedules. Students should see their advisor to: • address any problems which affect academic performance • select courses for the upcoming semester • discuss academic performance • explore academic or professional concerns • discuss departmental requirements and course sequences • discuss elective coursework in the major and other departments. Academic Distress and Sanctions Policy Undergraduate At the end of each Fall or Spring semester, undergraduate students with a (semester and/or cumulative) GPA below the required graduation GPA (2.0) are reviewed for academic progress. Students with a cumulative GPA below 2.0 shall be considered “not in good academic standing.” Students under this designation are ineligible to participate in intercollegiate athletics or club sports. Students with a term GPA (Fall or Spring semester) below 2.0 shall be placed on “Academic Probation.” This sanction is noted on the transcript. Students on academic probation are required to meet with their academic advisor to choose appropriate courses in which to enroll. Academic Probation status cannot be appealed. Students who are placed on Academic Probation while “not in good standing” will be limited to 15 credits in the next semester and shall be encouraged to retake courses in which they earned a grade of D, F, or W. Any of the following conditions shall make students subject to Academic Disenrollment: • A cumulative GPA below 1.500 after two semesters at Maritime College. • Placement on Academic Probation for a third consecutive term at Maritime College.
