Academic Progress

Academic Standing

  • To be in satisfactory academic standing, P.I.T. requires that a student have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.

Academic Warning or Probation

  • Students who do not maintain the required GPA or whose GPA is less than 2.0 for any term session are placed on Academic Warning status. Students placed on Academic Warning must meet with their Student Success Coach to review their academic standing.
  • Students with Academic Warning status may be advised to consider registering for fewer courses until they attain the required academic standing.
  • Students who meet the criteria for Academic Warning status for two (2) terms or whose cumulative GPA is 2.0 or below in any single term will be placed on Academic Probation. Students placed on Academic Probation must consult with their faculty advisor to plan a course of action.

Academic Dismissal

Students meeting the Academic Warning or Probation criteria are referred to the Vice President of Academic Affairs, who will then make a final determination. The decision of the Vice President of Academic Affairs is final.

Readmission

  • Degree Students: P.I.T. students who have been enrolled continuously for less than one (1) academic year may apply for readmission by contacting the ARO. Once readmitted, the student will be enrolled under the current academic catalog. Students who return after more than one (1) academic year absence are considered a new student instead of readmission.
  • Certificate Students: Students wishing to readmit to the College must email readmit@pit.edu to begin the readmission process. Once completed, the Program Director determines which courses the student must complete and when the student may return. The student must then meet with the Program Director and a Financial Aid Advisor for a re-entry appointment to learn about the available financial aid options.
  • After a one-term dismissal, students may apply for reinstatement by submitting a written request to the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs. Before reinstatement, the student must schedule a re-entry interview with the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and the Director of Student Affairs. If the application for reinstatement is approved, the student must apply for readmission to the Admissions Office.
