Marvin and Vice Presi dent for Academic Affairs Stanley Rives. The proposed revision of Eastern's probation policy was approved by unanimous vote Thursday by the Council on Academic Affairs. rThe proposal, submitted by CAA member Pat Wright, states that continued probation for more than two consecutive terms be allowed if the student makes "satisfactory progress" toward raising his grade point average. A student's cumulative GPA after one term on probation would determine the GPA he needs to achieve the fo llowing term in order to demonstrate satisfactory progress. If a student's cumulative GPA after one term on probation is between l.60 and l.99 , he must obtain a GPA of 2. 10 for the next grading period to demonstrate satisfactory progress. If a student achieves a cumulative GPA between 1.00 and 1.59 after a semester on probation, he must earna GPA of 2.20 for the next grading period. Finally, a student whose cumulative GPA after a term on probation falls between 0.0 1 and 0.99 must receive a GPA of 2.30 for the next grading period. Wright's plan also states that after remaining out of the university for at least one semester, a student who has been dismissed for low schoiarship will be automatically eligible for readmission.
