Academic Probation

A student placed on Academic Probation is required to complete a Probation Agreement.  This agreement outlines specific measures to help improve the student’s GPA, which may include options such as changing their program, working with a tutor, or reducing the number of hours worked.  During the next term, the student will be limited to a maximum of twelve (12) credit hours. 
Additionally, the following two criteria apply for this term:

  1. The student will remain on probation until they achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.000 or higher.
  2. The student must earn a GPA of 2.000 or higher for the term.

If the student fails to meet both of these criteria, they will be placed on Academic Suspension for one term. Please refer to sections Academic Suspension and Readmission for more information about suspension.

 

If the student achieves a GPA of 2.000 or higher for the term but the cumulative GPA is still below 2.000, they will be placed on Continued Probation.
