Probation FAQs

Once a student has completed 18 credit hours, they are assessed at the end of each term to make sure that they are meeting the minimum cumulative GPA required for regular status. When a student’s GPA falls below the minimum requirement, they are moved to probation.

While on probation, students must meet two restrictions: 1) They must not exceed 9 credit hours of classes per term, and 2) They must achieve a term GPA of 2.0 (C) each term while on probation.

To see the University's policy for probation,please visit the Academic Calendar's Regulations & Policies section.

In this case, we are using “term GPA” to describe the grade point average for all courses completed at the end of each term. This may include 3 credit hour or 6 credit hour courses for which a grade is awarded at the conclusion of the Fall, Winter, or Spring terms. A term GPA is calculated based on all of the grades awarded. Students on probation must average at least a C (2.0) between all of these classes in order to continue with their studies.

是的。如果您在通知状态更改时正在上课，则可以完成这些课程。但是，在注册未来条款时，您将被限制为每学期的9个学时。强烈鼓励您与学生成功顾问会面，以便在注册之前计划课程。

Students remain on probation until they reach the minimum cumulative GPA requirement outlined in the Academic Calendar. This may take one term, or it can take more – there is no time limit. The minimum GPA is outlined in theRegulations and Policies section of the Academic Calendar (7C), and is based on the number of credit hours you have attempted and your GPA:

So, for example, if you have attempted 39 credit hours, your GPA must be at least 1.5 in order to be Regular status.

如果您在试用期间收到低于2.0（c）的GPA任期，则将在下一期中移至暂停。我们强烈鼓励您与学生成功顾问进行有关策略的咨询，以提高您的GPA，如果您受到缓刑。

Generally, once a final grade has been added to a student’s transcript, it is permanent, and you cannot change it. However, if your grade was the result of circumstances beyond your control, you may qualify for an appeal for retroactive withdrawal. Generally, students have one year from the end of a course to submit an appeal for that course.

If you repeat a class andpass both attempts, we will use only the higher grade in the calculation of your cumulative GPA. This can be a good way to quickly increase your GPA. However, if you finished a class with an F grade, you cannot replace that grade, even if you repeat the class and do better. Both grades will continue to count towards your cumulative GPA.

Your probation status will appear on your transcript while you remain on probation. Once you have returned to regular status, it will be removed from your transcript.
