Determining Your Academic Standing

Your Academic Standing is based on the minimum grade point average required in your academic unit for Good Standing.
-
If you have met or exceeded the minimum GPA required in your academic unit, you are considered to be in Good Standing.
-
The first semester you fall below the minimum GPA in your academic unit, you will be placed on Academic Warning.

For readmission procedures, please consult your unit's academic advising center.
