Missed Class Form
The Gordon Athletic Department's priority is to help facilitate success for our student-athletes in the classroom, on the field, and beyond. Academically, there will be times that your participation in varsity athletics will interfere with your class schedule. The following Class Conflict Letter is intended to help you communicate to your professors any conflicts between your academic and athletic schedules. It is your responsibility to complete the form and submit to all relevant parties at the beginning of each semester/quad in an effort to ensure the best communication possible.

Counseling Center Information
The Gordon College Counseling Center provides mental health services at no cost to students to facilitate their adjustment to college, academic success and ability to be contributing members of the residential community. Counseling services are confidential; information shared in counseling is not shared with anyone else without the student's written consent, except when required by law. The goal of the Counseling Center is to be a safe and objective place where students can freely discuss issues or problems they may have without concern of any disciplinary response or of the information being shared with anyone else.

Eligibility Requirements

Good Academic Standing. To remain in good academic standing, students must 

• maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) at or above the cumulative GPA consistent with their Academic Program Credits (see table below) and
• successfully complete at least 12 credits per semester as full-time students. Credit taken between semesters may be applied to credits completed during the previous semester if a grade or official transcript has been received by the Registrar's Office by the start of the next semester.

Students must be in academic good standing to be eligible for participation in intercollegiate athletics sponsored by the College or for participation in a co-op placement. Students not in good academic standing who wish to participate in leadership positions in extracurricular activities will be subject to the approval of the Center of Student Development. Note: Federal satisfactory academic progress requirements for financial aid vary from the College's academic standards, and are monitored separately by the Student Financial Services Office. See Financial Aid Section.

A student's academic standing will be checked at the end of each semester. The following policy will be used to determine good academic standing.
 

Academic Program Credits*	Cumulative GPA
0-26	1.60
27-55	1.80
56-above	2.00

 

*Academic program credits include credit hours transferred into Gordon and all courses attempted at Gordon, including failed courses. The cumulative GPA is calculated only on Gordon grades.
