Academic Standards
All fraternities

grade point of their members at Stevens Institute of Technology
is at least a 2.5 each semester.
Fraternities and sororities whose cumulative grade point average is less
than a 2.5 shall be classified as on probationary status and their national
organization shall be notified. During the probationary period, the chapter
will be required to sponsor a study skills workshop and a time management
workshop which will be mandatory for all active members with an individual
grade point average of less than a 2.5.
If an organization records a cumulative grade point average of less than
a 2.5 for two consecutive semesters, it shall lose all organizational privileges
on campus and its recognition will be suspended until it is in compliance
with the minimum academic standards for fraternities and sororities.
All organizations having a GPA lower then a 2.5 will have until June 1999
to meet the minimum requirements. If the house does not meet the requirement
they will be suspended.
The Dean of Student Life, or his/her designees, shall administer these
standards. |
