Academic Probation
The records of all undergraduate students are reviewed after each semester, and the academic
status of full-time students is determined using the following schedule:
1. A student will be placed on academic probation if either of the following conditions occurs:
a. Cumulative grade point average (GPA) meets minimum GPA needed for continuation but
falls below the minimum cumulative GPA required for goodstanding.
b. Cumulative completion rate falls below the minimum standards for academic progression.

Minimum percent of
successful completion
The minimum standards for academic progression at the end of a semester are based on the
number of cumulative semester hours earned as a percentage of the cumulative semester hours
attempted. This calculation includes all courses with a W, WP, or WF grade. Repeated courses
count towards cumulative hours attempted.
2. Students placed on academic probation will be notified of their probationary status by
electronic mail sent to the student’s Trinity account and by regular mail to the student’s home
address. If a student gives consent or the dependent status of a student is verified, a copy of the
notification letter will also be sent to the parent(s)/guardian(s) by regular mail, which will include
the terms of probation.
