Prior to placing the student who has not exited the Learning Support area within three attempts on Learning Support Dismissal, the Department of Learning Support considers the student for one additional attempt in the area. (An attempt is defined as a semester in which the student receives any grade except "W".) The student must:
- be individually evaluated and determined to have a reasonable chance for success,
- be in the exit level course (0091/0099) of that area, and
- have reached the limit in only one Learning Support area.
If granted the additional attempt, the student may enroll in only the Learning Support course.
Students who do not complete the requirements for passing the non-exit level of a Learning Support area (0090-0096/0097) within two (2) attempts will be declared Learning Support Ineligible and may not continue in the program. Students who are declared Learning Support Ineligible may be considered for readmission after a minimum of one (1) semester, if they can demonstrate that they have acquired the knowledge and/or skills necessary to satisfy the requirements of the area for which they are ineligible. Students are required to submit written documentation of acceptable attempts to remediate the deficiency and demonstrate an acceptable level of proficiency in the area. If readmitted, enrollment is limited to the exit level course in the area for which the student was declared ineligible. The student is given one (1) attempt to successfully complete the requirements of the exit level course. Students who do not earn the grade of "S" in the exit level course, are then placed on Learning Support Dismissal.
- No degree credit is earned in Learning Support, though institutional credit is awarded. Time spent in Learning Support course work is cumulative within the University System, as is the number of attempts per area. Students with transfer credit or credit earned as a certificate student may be granted up to a total of three attempts at an area of Learning Support.
- The following grade symbols are used in Augusta State University's
Learning Support program:
S: satisfactory (passed course work, passed institutional requirement, passed
. . Collegiate Placement Examination [CPE])
IP: insufficient progress (passed course-work, passed institutional requirement,
. . .failed CPE)
U: unsatisfactory (failed course work, ineligible to attempt institutional
. . .requirement, ineligible to attempt CPE; withdrew after midterm)
W: withdrawal before midterm (not counted as an attempt)
V: audit (volunteer enrollment only)
- Students enrolled in both Learning Support and credit courses may not withdraw or be withdrawn from a Learning Support course unless they also withdraw or are withdrawn from all credit courses. All course changes must have advisor approval.
