an academic plan prior to enrolling for the next semester. When the next consecutive semester GPA of 2.0 or
better is attained, the student will be reinstated to good standing.
Academic Probation
A program student will be placed on academic probation if his/her semester grade point average falls below 2.0
(“C”) for 2 consecutive semesters. Students and their program Dean or Associate Dean will be notified of the
“Academic Probation” status by email. An enrollment hold will be placed on the student account. To ensure
successful progress toward completion of his/her program, the student will be required to meet with an academic
advisor to develop an academic success plan prior to enrolling for the next semester. If a student had previously
registered for the upcoming term and did not meet with an advisor, his/her next semester classes will be dropped
with no penalty. When the semester GPA of 2.0 or better is attained, the student will be reinstated to good
standing.
Academic Suspension
A student will be academically suspended after three consecutive semesters of GPAs of less than 2.0. Students
and their program Dean or Associate Dean will be notified of the “Academic Suspension Status” by email. The
length of a program suspension is one semester exclusive of summer. An enrollment hold will be placed on the
student account. If a student had previously registered for the upcoming term, his/her next semester classes will
be dropped with no penalty. Students are allowed to enroll in non-credit courses or Program Preparation
coursework designed to work on basic academic skills during the semester of academic suspension. A student
may apply for re-enrollment to the college after one semester by following the academic re-entry procedure
found on the student portal. Upon re-admission to a program, students will remain on academic probation and
must meet the academic progress standards stated above.
Appeal Process
A student has the right to appeal (by submission of an appeal form) a suspension for immediate readmission.
A team of NWTC staff will review the appeal and make a final determination. The decision of this team is
final. If a student had previously registered for his/her next semester classes and the appeal is denied the classes
will be dropped with no penalty.
Program changes will not affect a student’s Academic Progress status. Students on academic warning, academic
probation, or academic suspension prior to changing programs will remain on that same status.
This policy stands as the minimum academic requirements, NWTC programs may have higher requirements.
ACCOMMODATION FOR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College is committed to embracing the worth of every individual, creating a place
for all people, and promoting the respectful environment necessary for intellectual and personal discovery.
Removing barriers to serve a diverse population with a variety of religious beliefs and practices sustains this
principle.
NWTC may provide a reasonable accommodation based on a person’s sincerely held religious belief. In making
this determination, NWTC reviews a variety of factors, including whether the accommodation would create an
undue hardship for the College. The accommodation request imposes responsibilities and obligations on both the
requesting individual and the College.
For more information, view the College’s Accommodation for Religious Beliefs Policy.
A prayer/meditation room is available in SC225 on the Green Bay campus.
