Policy

Note:  This policy was updated for the 2025-2026 academic year.

After the fall semester, students will be placed on academic probation if they have a cumulative GPA below 2.00 or major GPA below 2.00 with at least 9 major GPA credits attempted in residence. Students who are on probation are expected to meet with their academic and/or faculty advisor within the first 4 weeks of the subsequent semester. 

At the end of each spring semester, any student who has been on academic probation in any previous fall or spring semester within the last two years and has a cumulative GPA below 2.00 or major GPA below 2.00 with at least 9 major GPA credits attempted in residence is subject to suspension, and their record will be reviewed to determine whether they will be allowed to continue in the next academic year. After that review, if it is determined that the student is allowed to continue, the student will return in the next academic year with a status of academic probation. If after that review, the student is suspended, the student may submit a written appeal to the Student Advancement Committee (SAC). Members of the committee will review the written appeal and may require a face-to-face meeting before making a final decision. Decisions of the committee are final.
