Academic Probation

So, I'm on academic probation, now what?

Take a deep breath! Being on academic probation can be overwhelming. The Learning Center is here to help you get the skills and support needed to raise your GPA.

Any student in their first semester of academic probation is required to complete a mandatory academic intervention provided by The Learning Center. These interventions are designed to help you improve your academics. It is crucial that you commit to your academic success this semester and fully complete your academic intervention!

What do I need to do if I am placed on Academic Probation?

  1. Attend an academic probation information session prior to the start of the semester
  2. Meet with your academic advisor or an academic coach to learn about the requirements of probation and your intervention options
  3. Choose an academic intervention – Academic Intervention Options
  4. Enroll in an academic intervention - How Do I Enroll in An Intervention?
  5. Attend and complete your academic intervention

Important things to know about academic probation:

  • Students who get below a 2.0 cumulative GPA are placed on academic probation
  • Students on their first semester of academic probation are required to enroll in and complete a mandatory academic intervention
  • The Learning Center offers multiple academic intervention options
  • Once on probation, students have one semester to achieve at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA
  • Students who do not achieve a 2.0 cumulative GPA after their probationary semester will be dismissed from the University
  • Students who successfully complete an academic intervention will be eligible to appeal for a second semester of academic probation, without documentation of an extenuating circumstance (see policy on academic dismissal)

Academic dismissal and the appeal process:

  • Students must write a formal, type-written letter of appeal to the dean of their academic school stating new information that demonstrates a strong probability of academic success or documentation of an extenuating circumstance in order to appeal academic dismissal
  • Notifications for dismissal and appeal decisions will be emailed to students' official Central email
  • Appeal decisions are made individually by the Dean of each academic school
