Early Alerts

Early alerts are issued through Navigate for students with poor academic performance. The early alert process allows faculty, and the student support counselors to help students receive the academic or emotional support needed to be successful.   

How to determine if you should report a student as an early alert, 

  • The student is missing three or more assignments.  
  • The student has missed one or more classes having rigorous lab time.  
  • The student has failed two or more assignments or exams.  
  • Other areas you feel will hinder the student’s academic success  

It is extremely important to report to students in a timely manner to allow time for the student to improve. LRCC has many academic and personal supports in place to assist  students.  

Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards

If you receive VA benefits, you must maintain satisfactory academic progress in your chosen program of study. We suggest you familiarize yourself with these requirements. 

Veteran students will be ineligible for VA benefits for one term if they do not meet these standards. That means you will not receive your benefits for the term following such a determination. See 34 CFR §668.34. 

Academic Standing

Each semester the Associate Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs reviews the academic performance of matriculated students whose cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is below 2.0. This review may result in a status of probation or suspension. 

Academic Probation: Students will be placed on probation if they fall within one of the following categories: 

0-13 Attempted Credits: between .500 and 1.49 CGPA
14-27 Attempted Credits: between 1.10 and 1.69 CGPA
28-40 Attempted Credits: between 1.25 and 1.79 CGPA
41+ Attempted Credits: between 1.50 and 1.99 CGPA

Students placed on academic probation will be limited to enrolling in twelve (12) credits and may not participate in any extracurricular activities.   

Academic Suspension: Students will be placed on suspension from the college for one semester if their academic performance falls under one of the following categories: 

0-13 Attempted Credits: between 0.00 and .499 CGPA  
14-27 Attempted Credits: between 0.00 and 1.09 CGPA  
28-40 Attempted Credits: between 0.00 and 1.24 CGPA  
41+ Attempted Credits: between 0.00 and 1.49 CGPA  

A student who does not meet satisfactory progress for academic probation for three consecutive semesters will be placed on academic suspension. Students placed on suspension must take one semester off f and must reapply for admission when choosing  to return. When students are readmitted they will be placed on probation and will only be allowed to take up to twelve (12) credits, unless they choose to appeal.  

Financial aid may be in jeopardy if a student fails to achieve satisfactory academic progress as defined above.
