Frequently Asked Questions
When is a cadet considered academically deficient?
A cadet is considered deficient in academics if one or more F or I grades is received on a grade report, or if the cumulative, core, or most recent semester GPA falls below 2.0. A first-class cadet is also deficient if the major GPA falls below 2.0. At mid-semester, most deficient cadets will be placed on academic probation and will be reviewed by a Class Committee. In addition, cadets on probation will be assigned certain weekend study periods. At the end of the semester, if seriously deficient, the cadet's record will be reviewed. The board may recommend either dismissal of the cadet, or continuation on academic probation with appropriate remedial actions. The board can direct attendance at the academic summer school held at the Academy.
