Academic Probation

At HILT each newly enrolled student is kept on Academic probation for his/her First Year of study, that his/her promotion to the Second Year depends on the Faculty’s evaluation mainly in the area of Academic success, and in the areas of behavioral patterns, character and faithfulness to the assign responsibilities.

The Accumulative Grade Average for Academic Probation is ‘C’ (64-66%).

When a student’s cumulative Semester GPA falls below the required cumulative GPA, the student will be placed on academic probation for the next Semester.

The student’s GPA for the following Semester must be the required cumulative GPA or better for credit hours attempted. If not, the student will be suspended from the College, but may be allowed to return after One Semester. When a student returns after a period of probationary suspension, he or she must achieve the required cumulative GPA or better for Credit Hours attempted by the end of the Semester in order to continue the studies.

Transfer students may be accepted on academic probation but restricted to 6 Hours for their First Semester if their previous Academic history is unsatisfactory. They will also have one Semester to raise their Semester GPA to the required cumulative GPA or better for Credit Hours attempted. If the student fails to do this, he/she may be suspended, but may be allowed to return after One Semester with the approval of the Academic Dean for re-Admission to the Program.

To provide additional academic support, the following measures may be applied:

        (i) Bi-weekly or regular meetings with a member of the Student Affairs Department.

        (ii) Bi-weekly meetings with an assigned Faculty Mentor.

        (iii) Required engagement with the Academic Dean.

        (iv) Limitation of participation in athletics and intramurals.
