Students who achieve a Semester GPA of 2.00 or higher will be placed in Good Standing and may register for a normal course or credit load.
Students whose Semester GPA falls below 2.00 for one semester will be placed on Warning. Students on Warning remain eligible for a normal course load but will be monitored closely and encouraged to utilize available academic support services.
Students on Warning who subsequently achieve a Semester GPA of 2.00 or higher will return to Good Standing.
Students whose Semester GPA remains below 2.00 in a subsequent semester while on Warning will be placed on Probation.
Students on Probation will normally be restricted to a reduced course load of six to nine credits per semester. This restriction is intended to support academic recovery and prevent further deterioration in performance. Students on Probation will not normally be permitted to exceed the recommended credit limit.
However, students may apply to the Dean for permission to waive the probationary credit restriction and pursue a normal course load. Such requests will only be considered where there is clear evidence of the student's capacity to recover academically, supported by an academic plan and, where appropriate, engagement with academic advising or student support services.
Students on Probation who achieve a Semester GPA of 2.70 or higher will return directly to Good Standing.
Students on Probation whose Semester GPA improves to between 2.00 and 2.69 will revert to Warning status and continue under academic monitoring.
Students on Probation whose Semester GPA remains below 2.00 will be placed on Academic Performance Suspension.
Students placed on Academic Performance Suspension will normally be required to sit out for one semester before applying for reinstatement. Upon reinstatement, students may be eligible for Academic Forgiveness in accordance with University regulations.
