Students may correct their academic deficiencies during the following semester or, in the event their probation occurs at the close of spring semester, by attending one or more sessions of Tulane Summer School. Students on academic probation who do not enroll in the following semester (or Tulane Summer School when probation occurs at the close of spring semester) or enroll but do not correct their academic deficiencies will be placed on a probationary leave of absence for the following regular semester.

After completing a probationary leave of absence, students may return to the university and will be continued on probation. Students on academic probation who have previously been placed on a one-semester probationary leave of absence and who fail to correct their academic deficiencies by the close of the semester of their return will be dismissed from Tulane University.

Students who are placed on academic probation or probationary leave of absence are not in good academic standing and are not eligible to obtain a letter of good standing, run for or take office, or study at another institution and transfer the credit to Tulane University. Students who have been academically dismissed from Newcomb-Tulane College are not allowed to re-enroll. Academic dismissal is noted permanently on the student's transcript.
