Dismissal for Academic Reasons
1. Failure in three classes. A record that shows three grades of F in a term or over two or three successive terms will normally result in the student's dismissal from Yale College. "Successive terms" means successive terms in which the student enrolls, whether or not broken by a withdrawal or by a leave of absence.
2. Failure to meet requirements for good standing or promotion. A student who has not, at the end of a term, met the minimum requirements for academic good standing (see "Promotion and Good Standing" in this chapter), or a student who has failed to meet the minimum standards for promotion (see "Promotion and Good Standing"), may be dismissed unless permitted by the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing to repair the deficiency. See "Makeup of Course Deficiencies for Promotion or Academic Good Standing" in this section. A student who is short by more than two credits of the minimum requirements for academic good standing or promotion, even if the student has no grades of F, will be dismissed.
3. Students on Academic Warning. A record that shows a grade of F for a student who is on Academic Warning in that term will result in that student's dismissal for academic reasons. See "Academic Warning" in this section.
4. Readmitted students. A student readmitted to Yale College who does not, in the first or second term following readmission, pass all the courses completed in that term will be dismissed for academic reasons. See "Readmission" under the heading "Leave of Absence, Withdrawal, and Readmission" in this chapter.
In addition, at any point during the year a student may be dismissed from Yale College if in the judgment of the Yale College Committee on Honors and Academic Standing the student's academic record is unsatisfactory.
