Key Facts
The Department of Radio, Television, & Digital Media prepares students for positions in the communications sector.
Students of the Radio Television and Digital Media - Electronic Sports Media program at Southern Illinois University are required to maintain an overall 2.0 grade point average in the major. If a Radio, Television, & Digital Media student does not achieve a 2.0 grade point average in the major in any one semester, that student is subject to departmental warning. Students who are on departmental warning and do not earn an overall 2.0 grade point average in Radio, Television, & Digital Media courses in a subsequent semester will be placed in a status of departmental dismissal. A student who has been placed on collegiate dismissal will be transferred to undecided Mass Communication or may seek transfer to another University program if the student has an overall SIU grade point average of 2.0. A dismissed student may appeal to the Departmental Undergraduate Committee for reinstatement into the program.
