Academic Probation

Academic Probation provides a warning for a student whose academic work is unsatisfactory. For the first semester that a student is on academic probation, he/she can register for a maximum
of 13 credit hours in the fall or spring semesters and no more than 7 credit hours in the summer. If after the first semester on probation the student achieves a semester GPA of 2.0 or greater, the credit hour restriction may be lifted upon recommendation of a student's academic advisor. Any student on academic probation must see an advisor each semester while on probation.

A student is placed on academic probation under the following situations:

1. When the student's overall GPA is below 2.0;

2. When the student is admitted while on probation from another institution;

3. When the student is a re-entering student whose last academic status was probation; or

4. When the student is a re-entering student after academic suspension.

To remain eligible to enroll in courses while on academic probation, a student must achieve at least a 2.0 semester GPA. Once on academic probation, a student on academic probation will remain on probation (as long as each semester GPA is at least 2.00) until an overall GPA of 2.00 or higher is achieved.

Academic probation status will be posted on the student's academic record. Failure to achieve a 2.0 or greater semester GPA results in suspension.
