Policy on Academic Probation

A student whose cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) falls below a "B" (5.00) in a given term or half term will be placed on academic probation for the following term or half term. Upon the recommendation of his or her graduate chair, and with the consent of the associate dean for Academic Affairs, a student may be granted an opportunity to correct the scholastic and/or academic deficiency. A student whose cumulative grade point average falls below a "B" average may be denied permission to register or may be required to withdraw from the university. Students will be notified by e-mail if their GPA has dropped below a “B” (5.0). An e-mail is also sent to a student’s advisor, department student services coordinator and department chair. They will need to get in contact immediately with their advisors. A letter will be mailed to them after a decision has been made by their department and the associate dean.
