Staying in Good Academic Standing

In order to remain in good academic standing, undergraduate students admitted to degree status are expected to:

1) Earn a cumulative GPA 2.0 or better AND 

2) Complete successfully (grades of A through D or S) at least 2/3 or 66.66% of the cumulative credits for which they have registered.

The goals of the Academic Standing Policy are to:

• Define and maintain the academic standards of the university;
• Intervene with students who do not meet university requirements in order to support retention of students who encounter difficulties;
• Provide for efficient use of state and university resources;
• Provide standards and systems that are fair, consistent with graduation requirements, and appropriate for both full time and part time students.

At the end of each fall, spring and summer term, after the deadline for posting grades, the university will review the academic standing of each student registered for that term.

All students not in good standing will be notified of their status. This applies to all undergraduate students admitted to degree status at the university.
