Dismissal for Academic Reasons
1. Failure in a term or over two or three successive terms of enrollment to receive credit for three courses from which a student did not formally withdraw will 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. 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. A student on Academic Warning who does not pass all the courses taken in the term in which the student is on warning will be dismissed for academic reasons. See "Academic Warning" in this section.
4. A student readmitted to Yale College who does not, in the first or second term following readmission, pass all the courses taken 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.
