Scholastic Suspension
Students placed on academic suspension will be eligible for readmission after the lapse of one regular semester (Fall or Spring). It should be noted that a 2.0 cumulative GPA is required for graduation at North Central Texas College.
*Students are expected to know if they have maintained the minimum standard and are eligible to continue college. An ineligible student who registers in the college will be subject to dismissal.

Scholastic Suspension Appeal Process
Students seeking admission while on academic suspension may appeal to the Admissions and Enrollment Management Committee by filing a letter of petition with the Director of Admissions, which must be received by the Monday prior to the first day of main campus registration. The letter of petition must explain any special or unusual circumstances, which caused the students to be suspended, other than simply failing to maintain grades.

Student Grade Appeal
Any student wishing to appeal their final grade received in any course may do so according to the following procedure:

  • Collect all tests and daily assignments and other relevant materials and request a conference with the instructor in question.
  • Present the case directly to the instructor.
  • If a student is unsatisfied, the next step is to appeal to the instructor's Department Chair or Program Coordinator.
  • If a student is still unsatisfied an appeal should be filed with the appropriated Instructional Dean.

*No student grade appeal will be considered by any person in the foregoing procedure unless each step in the procedure has been explicitly followed in the order outlined. Then and only then, will the President of the College hear a final appeal.

Course Cancellation
The College reserves the right to cancel any scheduled course, which does not have sufficient enrollment to justify, economically or educationally teaching the course. Students will be notified by the first meeting day of the course.

Dropping Courses
If a student's personal circumstances dictate that he or she needs to reduce their academic load, that student should confer with their advisor for assistance in adjusting the number of courses being taken. A grade of "W" will be given to students who officially withdraw from a course or "drop" after the Friday of the 12th week of a long term.
Should a student withdraw completely from the College after the "course drop deadline", a final grade will be given for each course that the student is enrolled at the discretion of the appropriate dean with the advice and consultation of the instructor of record.

Academic Honors
At the end of each Fall and Spring semester, certain students will be recognized for superior academic achievement for the following:

  • Presidents Honor List with a GPA of 4.0 while enrolled full-time (12 or more college-level hours)
  • Deans Honor List with a GPA of 3.5 while enrolled full-time (12 or more college-level hours)
