 ACADEMIC STANDING ELIGIBILITY TO CONTINUE A minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA is required to maintain good academic standing. After the first semester if a student fails to obtain the required minimum 2.0 overall GPA, the student is placed on academic Probation 1 and will receive written notification from the University. While on the Probation 1, the student is strongly advised to repeat courses necessary to regain an overall 2.0 GPA and may take no more than 13 credit hours in a regular term, seven hours in any one summer term, and four hours in the late spring term. The student is removed from probation if the cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher at the end of that semester. If the student's overall GPA is not 2.0 or higher at the end of the Probation 1 semester, the student is placed on Probation 2. A student on Probation 2 is required to repeat courses to regain an overall 2.0 GPA and is not allowed to take more than 13 credit hours in a regular term, seven hours in any one summer term, and four hours in the late spring term. Once the student's academic adviser has advised the student, the student's schedule will be verified and entered into the system by the Director of Enrollment Management or the personnel in the Registrar's Office. The student is removed from probation if the cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher at the end of that semester. At the end of the Probation 2, if the student fails to earn a 2.0 cumulative GPA the student is dismissed from the University. If the GPA of a student with 87 or more hours falls below a cumulative 2.0 GPA the student will be placed on Probation 2. Note: This policy is for eligibility to continue only. Some degree programs may have higher GPA requirements. |
