GRADE POINT AVERAGE
Academic Probation. Students must maintain a 2.0 GPA in the program. If a student earns a course grade lower than C-, they must retake the class. If the student’s GPA drops below 2.0, or if after retaking a class their grade is still below C-, the student will be considered on academic probation.
ACADEMIC REVIEW
The performance of students on academic probation will be reviewed by the director in consultation with faculty. The student may be denied continued enrollment or given conditional enrollment for the second semester. Within one calendar week following the review of a student’s academic program, the Director of Aviation will inform the student of any resulting action. Students may appeal all actions of the academic review process.
ATTENDANCE
If a student is unable to attend a class for health or other legitimate reasons, the instructor may grant permission to attend via electronic means, or she/he may grant permission to accomplish course tasks through asynchronous assignments. Such arrangements shall be requested by the affected student, and must be approved by the instructor, in advance of the scheduled class day/time. Failure to achieve prior approval shall result in a non-attendance being classified as an absence. If a student is absent for three consecutive sessions in face-to-face and/or online classes and is unresponsive to communication from the Undergraduate Program Assistant, he or she may be administratively withdrawn from the LOMV program.
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
Inclement weather policy for classes at the EMU Lancaster campus may be found in the Student Handbook. Decisions about flight training during inclement weather shall be made by consensus between the student and his/her Aero-Tech Services Flight Instructor.
PARTICIPATION IN COMMENCEMENT
The EMU at Lancaster commencement ceremony is held on the Friday evening following the annual main campus Sunday ceremony. LOMV graduates may participate in the commencement ceremony if all degree requirements are anticipated to be met no later than the end of summer semester following commencement.
DIPLOMA DATES
LOMV students are certified for receipt of a degree when the Academic Advisor and the Registrar confirm that the student has met all degree requirements. When completion of degree requirements has been confirmed, the following information is forwarded to the Provost’s office and the registrar’s office: student’s name, cohort number, degree date, degree, major and if applicable, honors. There are four diploma dates: 1) the last day of fall semester in December, 2) the end of spring semester, late April or early May, 3) the last day of the second term of the traditional undergraduate summer school program in mid June and 4) in August, several weeks prior to the beginning of the fall semester. Students will be assigned the most recent graduation date prior to the date when all program requirements are satisfied and all related transcripts are received by the university and posted by Registrar’s Office staff.
TRANSCRIPTS AND ENROLLMENT VERIFICATION
To assure the confidentiality of academic records, any request for a transcript must be made in writing and must come from the student. Requests should be addressed to the Registrar’s office and students should allow one week for processing. There is a $5 processing fee for each transcript. All tuition and fees must be paid in full before a diploma or transcript may be released. Additional information for requesting official transcripts can be found at: https://emu.edu/registrar/transcript-ordering
Enrollment verification requests should be forwarded to the undergraduate program assistant.
