Accelerated and Non-Term Programs Students who fall below 1.8 or 2.0 respectively of their total credits ( transferred and earned ) will be placed on Academic Probation . Students who do not bring their GPA above the minimum threshold within the next six credits may be academically dismissed . Students on academic probation may not concurrently enroll in more than a single course .
Undergraduate students enrolled in a non-term program who earn a grade of F in any course or a grade less than C in a required course within the major , regardless of cumulative GPA , will be subject to Academic Warning . If the course in which the student earned an unsatisfactory grade is a curriculum requirement it must be repeated at the next available opportunity . Failure to pass a repeated course or earn a grade below a C in a repeated course within the major is grounds for dismissal . Dismissal is binding for one calendar year . After one year , students interested in returning to Gwynedd , may apply for readmission to the University . The School Dean will evaluate the readmission application for approval .

All Programs Each degree program stipulates satisfactory minimum grades with regard to its own major and certain general education courses . See more specific details of program degree requirements in the course listing section of each academic area . Should a full- or part-time student fail to meet these programspecific grade requirements , the Dean of the School or Coordinator of the Program in which the student is matriculated may dismiss the student from the program . Students who are dismissed from their program of study under these conditions , but who have a satisfactory cumulative grade point average based on the University ’ s policy of Academic Progress , may continue their studies ( full or part time ) if they are accepted into University Studies or another degree program by the Dean of that program .
Students who have more than 60 credits may be enrolled in the University Studies program for no more than two consecutive semesters before declaring a major . If , after two semesters in University Studies , a student is not accepted into a major , the student may continue as a nonmatriculated , part-time student .
Grade Appeals
Students who believe that their final course grade is not correct must follow the procedure described in the flow chart below , beginning with the first-level appeal to the instructor . The student is required to provide documentation supporting the appeal and to show that their work warranted the grade they seek . The appeal must include evidence that the faculty member did not follow grading or other policies in the course syllabus , as well as dates and summaries of all other meetings or attempted meetings with the instructor to resolve the concern .
All email communication must be conducted via the student ’ s , instructor ’ s , and administrator ’ s GMercyU account ; no personal email accounts should be used .
NOTE : If a student is concurrently appealing an academic integrity violation and the final grade for the same course , the grade complaint process will pause until the academic integrity violation appeal process is completed . Appeals must be submitted separately ; combined academic integrity violation and final grade appeals will not be considered . Students are encouraged to consult with their academic advisor , if they have questions about any appeal process .
