Academic Probation

Scholastic probation is an identification of students whose scholastic performance is below University standards.   Students are on scholastic probation for the next semester in which they are enrolled if their academic performance is such that they are included in any of the following conditions:

1. Students who have 0-11 credits [considered to be first semester standing] and who have earned less than a 1.8 semester grade point average.
   
2. Students who have earned 12-23 credits [considered to be second semester standing] and who have earned less than a 1.8 semester grade point average.
   
3. Students who have earned 24 credits or more [considered to be third semester or higher] and who have earned less than a 2.0 semester grade point average or cumulative grade point average.

More information can be found on pages 27 - 29 of the Undergraduate Catalog.

Dismissal

Students are eligible for academic dismissal when they:

- Fail to meet the minimum scholastic standards for two consecutive registered semesters.

A student who has been dismissed from the University for academic reasons may not register for courses at the University as a non-degree student without the approval of the Dean of Continuing Studies, who will inform the dean of the student's previous school or college about the decision made.   Students who have been dismissed must apply for readmission after demonstrating a strong probability for academic success [see READMISSION].
