Each student is expected to make minimum academic progress while enrolled at Jefferson College. A student is considered to be making minimum progress if the student maintains a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0.
A student whose progress falls below minimum requirements shall be placed on academic probation. The student will be notified of the probationary status and informed of resources available for academic improvement.
If the student’s cumulative grade point average remains below 2.0 at the end of the probationary term, the student will be placed on academic suspension and will not be allowed to enroll or remain in classes for subsequent terms. The student must appeal the suspension and request academic reinstatement to enroll in subsequent terms. Questions regarding the academic suspension appeal process may be directed to the Office of the Vice President of Student Services at 636-481-3201/797-3000, ext. 3201.

At the end of each fall and spring semester, the Jefferson College Dean's List is published. The Dean's List recognizes students who have achieved a grade point average of at least 3.25 for 12 or more graded credit hours taken that semester. The list is distributed to local newspapers for publication. Part-time students may qualify for the Dean’s List by accumulating 12 or more graded credit hours with at least a 3.25 grade point average between fall and spring semesters. Part-time students should inform the Vice President of Student Services Office within ten days of grade reporting that the requirement has been satisfied to be included. If you have questions regarding the Dean's List, you may call 636-481-3201.

A student is charged in-district tuition rates if he or she is considered a resident of Jefferson County. A resident is described as a Jefferson County high school graduate, a dependent student whose parents have established residence within the District prior to the student’s enrollment, or an independent and self-supporting student who has established legal residence within the District prior to enrollment in the College.
A student who wishes to petition for a lower tuition rate due to a change in residency is advised to contact the Office of Registration and Student Records at register@jeffco.edu. The student will be required to complete the request form and provide proof of his/her legal residence prior to the start of the semester. Requests submitted after the start of a semester will be processed for the following term.

If a student becomes seriously ill or critically injured and is unable to continue attending or participating in classes, the student should withdraw to avoid receiving failing grades. If the illness or injury occurs after the published withdrawal deadline has passed, a student may then submit a Request for Medical Withdrawal. For specific withdrawal dates for all courses, visit the Class Schedule page, www.jeffco.edu/classschedule. Financial aid recipients should contact the Financial Aid Office prior to withdrawing from classes to discuss how their financial aid status/eligibility may be affected.
The Request for Medical Withdrawal form may be accessed on the Student tab in MyJeffco, and can also be obtained from the Office of Registration and Student Records at register@jeffco.edu. To request a medical withdrawal, a student should submit the completed form with required documentation to the registrar at register@jeffco.edu. The request must be received prior to the end of the following semester. Requests submitted without supporting documentation will be denied. If medical necessity can be validated, the student has not received federal or state gift aid, and his or her bill has been paid in full, the student may be issued a Dean’s Waiver. The waiver would allow the student to re-enroll in the same courses in the following semester without having to pay the tuition charges again, provided the courses are offered that semester.
A medical withdrawal will not generate a refund of tuition charges and/or lab fees paid, nor will it remove a balance for assessed tuition charges and/or lab fees. A “W” grade will be posted on a student’s transcript for each withdrawn course, and the course(s) will count into attempted credit hours for financial aid purposes. If a student wishes to request that classes be completely dropped to remove tuition charges and fees, the student is advised to review the Tuition Refund Appeal form to see if it is applicable.
A student may drop classes and be entitled to a refund of tuition and lab fees paid, or the removal of assessed tuition charges and lab fees, during published refund period dates. After the refund period has ended, the tuition refund appeal process may be an option for a student who is unable to complete their course(s) due to an extended illness/critical injury or the illness/injury/loss of an immediate family member.
The Tuition Refund Appeal form may be accessed under the Academic Forms list on the Student tab in MyJeffco and can also be obtained from the Office of Registration and Student Records at register@jeffco.edu. If a student determines that the tuition refund appeal process is applicable in their case, a student should submit the completed form with required documentation to the Registrar at register@jeffco.edu. Financial aid recipients are encouraged to check with the Financial Aid Office prior to withdrawing or submitting a the Tuition Refund Appeal form, to discuss how their financial aid status/eligibility may be impacted. Please note that the request must be submitted to the Registrar's Office for review prior to the end of the next semester.
This process is not applicable for instructional complaints. A student is advised to contact their instructor or the appropriate Associate Dean regarding these issues.
Refunds associated with military obligations are handled outside of this process. In these situations, a copy of a student’s military orders must be submitted to the Office of Enrollment Services along with a completed withdrawal request.
