  5. Proposed Recommendationfor Policy Change Option 1: The student suspension of one calendar year would be changed to two semesters.* *Semester defined as Fall, Winter or Summer for Academic Standing Policy purposes.

  6. Proposed Recommendationfor Policy Change Option 2: Students would have the option of applying for an early re-admit after one suspended semester. The early admit option would require enrollment inCLS 102 Practicing Strategies for Academic Success (or PY97 Strategies for College and Life Success,if not passed) and a limit of eight (8) total creditsfor the semester.

  7. Rationale for • Policy Change • Improve engagement and success of our suspended students. • Present suspension time period is not demonstrating success when students return. • CLS 102 provides a cohort experience and opportunity to improve student success skills. Policy Subsection8.17 Academic Standing:Grand Rapids Community College requires all students to make satisfactory academic progress.
