Repeated Courses, Withdrawals, and Incomplete Grades
A course may be repeated at most twice. When a student repeats a course, only the grade received for the repeat is counted in the computation of the cumulative GPA, even if the second grade is lower than the first.
A grade of "W" (withdrawal from a course or from the university) is assigned without academic penalty.
A grade of "I" (Incomplete) converts to "F" if the coursework is not completed by the end of the following semester, unless a written extension has been approved.

Academic Probation and Standing
To continue in residence at Lee University, students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA according to a sliding scale based on attempted hours: 1.5 for 0-29 hours attempted, 1.7 for 30-59 hours, 1.9 for 60-89 hours, and 2.0 for 90-120 hours.
A student who fails to meet this required average is placed on academic warning while remaining in good standing. If the required GPA is not reached by the end of the next semester, the student is placed on academic probation and is no longer considered in good academic standing. Students on academic probation are limited to 12-14 credit hours per semester and are reviewed by the Retention Committee; no student may remain on probation for more than two consecutive semesters without Retention Committee approval.
A student may be academically suspended if the Retention Committee determines the student lacks the necessary academic qualifications or discipline. A suspended student is ineligible for readmission until after one full semester (summer sessions do not count) and may appeal in writing to the Retention Committee.
