Academic Probation 

A student who is placed on academic probation will be given notice thereof by the Dean of Students. In addition, the Associate Dean may require each such person:

(1) to consult with a person designated by the Dean of Students to evaluate his or her writing ability, and, if this evaluation indicates a need for remedial work in writing, to complete a required program of such remedial work; and

(2) to obtain course counseling by the Dean of Students or his delegate prior to registering for the following semester.

In addition, the Dean of Students may impose on any student on probation any of the following as he or she shall determine:

(3) reduction in academic load;

(4) reducing or eliminating outside employment in the case of a full-time student;

(5) repetition of specified courses;

(6) limitation of courses or programs which may be taken;

(7) reducing or eliminating extracurricular activities;

(8) suspension for a specified period of time;

 

Miscellaneous Provisions

  1. In evaluating academic standing, the number of credits completed is considered at the end of each semester or summer session.

  2. A required course in which a grade of "F" is received must be repeated at the first opportunity with a different professor.

  3. No student allowed to repeat the first semester or first year because of failed academic standing may be permitted a further repetition of the same period.

  4. In case of dismissal or suspension, registration in all courses is revoked and tuition for any subsequent semester is refunded in full.

  5. A student repeating a required course because of a grade of "F", who receives a grade of "F" in the repeated course, will be automatically dismissed from the law school. Such dismissal may be appealed to the Academic Credentials Committee. If good cause is shown and the student's academic performance is otherwise satisfactory, the committee may recommend to the full faculty that the student not be dismissed but be allowed to repeat the course one more time.

  6. Any credits earned at another school and approved by Seton Hall as counting toward graduation will not be computed in the student's Grade Point Average.

  7. A grade of "D", wherever referred to in these standards, includes a grade of "D" or "D+".

  8. Students are responsible for reading and understanding all provisions of these standards.
