School of Business and Information Sciences Policies

  • Upon acceptance into the School, students will be given a control sheet with a required sequence of courses that must be completed within the major. Students may not deviate from this sequence without signed permission of the Dean of the School and Associate Dean. Failure to follow the prescribed sequence often will result in the student’s inability to complete the program in the anticipated amount of time.
  • Students who fail to maintain the required GPA for their programs (2.5 for B.S; 2.0 for B.P.S.) will be placed on academic probation. Students on academic probation will receive letters from the Dean of the School explaining actions to be taken to return them to good academic standing. Students who are placed on probation more than twice over the course of their academic careers will be dismissed from the School.
  • Students must earn a minimum grade of “C” in all courses in the major/minor.
  • Students may repeat a Business or required course only once. Failure to achieve a grade of “C” or better in a repeated required course will result in dismissal from the School.
  • Students must repeat any required Business course in which they receive a D or an F as soon as the course is offered again. Failure to repeat the course the next time it is offered may result in dismissal from the School.

Probation and Dismissal Policy:

Students who fail to maintain a minimum overall or semester GPA of 2.500 will be placed on academic probation or dismissed from Felician University. Academic probation carries with it a reduction in course load, the repetition of required courses, and participation in the School’s Probation Program. The requirements of the program include:

  1. Monthly meetings with the Academic Counselor;
  2. Academic workshops;
  3. Submission of a copy of academic schedule including classes, tutoring, and work to the Academic Counselor.
