Students who have a cumulative grade point average below the required 2.00* for two consecutive semesters are continued on academic probation for a second semester. If students admitted on academic probation earn a grade point average below 2.00* in their first semester of studies, they are continued on academic probation for a second semester. Students placed on second semester academic probation must meet with the dean of student ser- vices and will be limited to one course per semester (no more than three semester hours), in which they must earn a B or better. Students who fail to attain this grade will be subject to aca- demic dismissal (refer to the Student Handbook for the academic dismissal appeal process). Students who have been placed on academic probation and who raise their cumulative grade point average to the minimum of 2.00* are returned to the status of good academic standing. *2.75 for students in the MA (Apologetics and Ethics), (New Testament), (Old Testament), (Theology) program. Doctoral-level students are eligible for academic dismissal if they fail more than one DMin course. A failing grade is anything less then a B-. HONORS PROGRAM (MASTER'S LEVEL) The honors program at Denver Seminary enables outstanding students to specialize more intensely in their fields of interest, to pursue alternative options in meeting the requirements of prescribed courses, and to develop research skills and attitudes that will enhance their ministries. As a value-added option, the program encourages students to go beyond some requirements of specific courses or to substitute courses in place of prescribed ones, to enhance their educational experience—not to increase the students' workload but to accomplish curricular objectives through alternative avenues mutually developed by student and faculty. Admission to the honors program requires a cumulative GPA of at least 3.7. Students must have been enrolled at Denver Seminary for at least forty-five semester hours (MDiv) or thirty semester hours (MA), but no more than sixty-five semester hours (MDiv) or forty-five semester hours (MA). To remain in the program, a student must also maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.7 each semester. If the cumulative GPA drops below that threshold, the student will be dropped permanently from the program. An application for admission to the honors program may be secured from the forms link on MyDenSem.
