Purpose

This policy outlines the criteria for maintaining good academic standing.

Scope

This policy applies to all undergraduate students.

Policy

Academic standing is assessed at the end of each academic standard term. To remain in good academic standing, undergraduate students enrolled in three or more credit hours in a given term must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. Students whose cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 will be placed on probation. Students whose cumulative GPA remains below 2.0 after the subsequent term will be permitted to continue on probation as long as the term GPA is 2.0 or higher. Students are removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches 2.0. A student on probation who earns a term GPA below 2.0 will be placed on suspension.

Academic Probation

Academic probation indicates that a student is not in good academic standing and is subject to suspension if the student’s work does not reach a satisfactory level. Students remain on academic probation until the cumulative GPA reaches the minimum level of 2.0, as long as each term GPA is 2.0 or higher.

Academic Suspension

Academic suspension indicates that a student is not in good academic standing and has been dismissed because the student’s work has not reached a satisfactory level. Academic suspension must be appealed in writing before a student may continue in a subsequent term.
