ACADEMIC STANDING
IN THE BACCALAUREATE PROGRAM
Satisfactory Academic Standing
You are considered in satisfactory standing if you maintain a minimum
cumulative grade-point average of 2.0. This minimum average, a “C”
average, is also required for graduation.
Academic Probation
If your cumulative grade-point average (CGPA) falls below 2.0 after you
have attempted at least 15 semester credit hours, you will be placed
on academic probation for the following semester. If, at the end of the
following semester, you earn a term grade-point average of 2.0 or above
but the cumulative grade-point average is still below 2.0, you will remain
on academic probation. You must raise your cumulative GPA to 2.0 or
above by the end of the third semester or be at risk of dismissal for
failure to make satisfactory academic progress.
Academic Dismissal
If your semester GPA falls below 2.0 for two semesters in a row, but
your cumulative GPA is still 2.0 or above, the dean or assistant dean of
your college will review your academic record; as a consequence of the
review, you may be eligible for dismissal for failure to make satisfactory
academic progress.
