Failure to Maintain Good Academic Standing
Undergraduate Students
Any student enrolled in a minimum of six credit hours will fall out of good academic standing if he or she (1) fails to achieve a 1.00 GPA in a given term or (2) fails to achieve the minimum cumulative GPA requirements outlined in the table above. The academic advisor for any student who is suspended or placed on academic probation or academic warning shall receive a copy of the letter that informs the student of his or her suspension, probation, or warning.
Undergraduate Academic Suspension
Academic suspension indicates that a student is not in good academic standing and is subject to dismissal if his or her work does not reach a satisfactory level. Students earning a term GPA below 1.00 will be placed on academic suspension. Suspension must be appealed in writing before a student may continue with the subsequent term.
Note: Undergraduate semester students suspended after the fall semester are not eligible to take courses during the January-Term.
Undergraduate Academic Probation
Academic probation indicates that a student is not in good standing and is subject to suspension or dismissal if his or her work does not reach a satisfactory level. Students who are not placed on suspension but fail to meet the cumulative GPA requirements will be placed on academic probation and must achieve the minimum cumulative GPA requirements outlined in the table by the end of the subsequent term. Students who remain on probation for consecutive terms may be suspended or dismissed from the University.
Undergraduate Academic Warning
All students with below a 2.0 GPA who are not placed on suspension or probation are placed on academic warning.
Graduate Students
Any student will fall out of good academic standing if he or she fails to achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. The academic advisor for any student who is suspended or placed on academic probation shall receive a copy of the letter that informs the student of his or her suspension or probation.
Graduate Academic Suspension
A graduate student will be placed on academic suspension if he or she does not meet the minimum cumulative grade point averages listed below.
- After attempting 18 or fewer credit hours: 2.66 GPA
- After attempting 19-27 credit hours: 2.75 GPA
- After attempting 28-32 credit hours: 2.8 GPA
- After attempting 33 or more credit hours: 3.0 GPA.
In addition, any student with a term GPA less than 3.0 will be reviewed for possible suspension or probation. Suspension must be appealed in writing before a student may continue with a subsequent term.
Graduate Academic Probation
Students failing to maintain a cumulative 3.0 GPA who are not placed on academic suspension will be placed on academic probation. Students placed on academic probation may be subject to conditions (provided to the student in writing) under which he or she will be allowed to continue. Such conditions may include requiring the student to repeat the course or courses in which a deficient grade was earned. When a graduate course is repeated, both grades will be averaged to determine the cumulative grade point average.
