Undergraduate Students
Any undergraduate 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. Undergraduate 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. Faxed, emailed, mailed, or hand delivered appeal letters will be accepted but email is strongly recommended
Note: Students will be notified of their academic suspension by US mail and Lionmail and will be provided with guidelines for writing a letter of appeal, including a specific date by which the appeal must be received. If a student’s appeal is not received by the date specified, the student will be dropped from all classes, and, if the student is a resident, his or her campus housing will be cancelled.
Students will be given seven calendar days from the date of notification of suspension to appeal. If the appeal is not received and approved within that time limit, the student will be dropped from all current and future classes.
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 semester. Students who remain on probation for consecutive semesters may be suspended or dismissed from the University.
Undergraduate Academic Warning
All students with a GPA below 2.0 who are not placed on suspension or probation are placed on academic warning.
