GPA REQUIREMENT/PROBATION

Students must maintain a minimum grade point average of 1.5, have passed required courses, and possess the appropriate number of credits in order to remain at Marian Catholic in good academic standing.

Students not meeting these requirements after the first semester of freshman year are given the opportunity to attain academic assistance and are put on academic probation. The students may be placed on probation at the semester.

Students on academic or disciplinary probation risk loss of financial aid; a student who does not improve the following semester may be asked to withdraw.

If a WF (Withdraw/Failure) grade is given, it is included in the grade point average. If NC (No Credit) is given, it is not included in the grade point. On the grade report, GPA2 refers to quarter GPA, and GPA3 to the semester GPA. An academic letter is awarded to those students who sustain at least a 4.0 average for two semesters

ELIGIBILITY

While maintaining a passing grade in five out of six courses or six out of seven courses, Marian students are eligible to practice for and participate in IHSA sponsored athletics, interscholastic speech contests, non-graded band and choral programs, and school-sponsored theater productions. All other clubs and activities are held to this minimum academic standard, including Kairos retreat leaders, dance chairpersons and members of dance courts. Clubs and activities may require and publish a higher standard through their approved constitution and bylaws.

A student is ineligible from the Monday on which his/her name appears on the ineligible list until the Monday the name is removed. A student who becomes ineligible at the end of each semester remains ineligible until the needed credit is earned.

Students who are ineligible may practice for but not participate in the listed activities by attending scheduled forty-five minute (2:15 - 3:00 p.m.) after school study sessions during the time they are ineligible.

In very exceptional cases, the Principal can waive the eligibility rule.
