Academic Probation

At the end of each semester, the Committee for Academic Progress meets to review undergraduate students’ grades to ensure timely progress and completion of degree requirements and expectations. This committee consists of the Associate Dean of Academic and Student Affairs, Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs, Registrar, Associate Dean for Admissions & Retention, and Director of Financial Aid. Graduate probation is handled by the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies.

Students may be placed on academic probation for a number of reasons as articulated in the Academic Policy Handbook. These reasons include poor performance or jury grades, lack of progress towards a degree program, low GPA, and completion of less than 12 credits.

Students may also be placed on disciplinary probation for not following the University’s code of behavior. Such issues are generally handled by the Student Life Office.
