The Unofficial SMART Scholarship Forum

A scholar may be placed in a status of non-compliance and/or dismissed from the program if they fail to maintain the required GPA of 3.0 or above or fail to complete coursework/receive incomplete (I) grades. The latter still applies even if you maintain a 3.0 GPA, both cumulative and for the semester.

The short answer is likely yes.

Quick question about classes. The handbook states that "If the scholar does not receive credit for coursework due to one or more failing grades, even if the cumulative GPA remains above 3.0, the scholar may be placed in a status of non-compliance and/or dismissed from the SMART Program. If dismissed, the scholar will have defaulted on their SSA (per section 3.3.1) and may be subject to debt repayment (section 3.3.3)."

I understand that if I fail a class I will be dismissed, but does that apply to courses that I withdraw from before the withdrawal deadline?

Thanks!
