WHAT IS ACADEMIC PROBATION?

A student is placed on academic probation at the end of any semester if his/her cumulative grade point average (GPA) drops below 2.00. The effect of being placed on academic probation is to serve notice to the student that the quality of his/her work is below an acceptable level.

  • If a student on academic probation earns a 2.00 cumulative GPA at the end of the next semester, the student returns to good academic standing.

  • If a 2.00 minimum cumulative GPA is not earned the next semester, but a term GPA of at least 2.00 is earned, the student will remain on academic probation.

  • If the student does not raise the cumulative GPA to at least 2.00 by the end of the next semester and does not attain a term GPA of at least 2.00, the student will be suspended from the University (see Suspended Student Support).
