Grading Policies
ACADEMIC PROBATION / DISMISSAL
Academic Probation
Students are placed on academic probation if their GPA falls below minimum retention standards.
During the probationary period, students maintain their academic standing with the College but are limited to 12 credits until they attain the minimum required GPA.
More about academic standing.
Dismissal
Students whose GPA falls below minimum retention standards for two semesters are academically dismissed. Academically dismissed students may not attend BMCC or any CUNY college for at least one semester.
Readmission After Academic Dismissal
Academically dismissed students may be readmitted to the College on probation if the student:
1. Was academically dismissed once.
2. Has not attended BMCC for at least one semester.
3. Has a cumulative grade point average of 1.8 or more.
4. Files a readmission application with the Admissions office.
  The Committee on Academic Standing reviews all applications from any student with a GPA below 1.8 who has 45 credits or more. Students who are academically dismissed twice are not readmitted to BMCC.
Appeal of Dismissal
Academic dismissal may be appealed by writing to the Committee on Academic Standing. Documentary evidence in support of the appeal and/or written recommendation from a college counselor/academic advisor may be submitted.
More about the appeals process
Appeal is Denied
For students whose appeal is denied, CUNY offerers the option of applying to another community college under the CUNY Forgiveness Policy.
