Undergraduate Academic Warning
Issued only once, the first time a student's cumulative GPA falls below a 2.0 while in good academic standing. The University Student records Office will send the student a notification detailing the consequences should the cumulative grade point remain below a 2.0 at the conclusion of the semester. A student on Academic Warning remains eligible for all extracurricular activities as governed by the rules of the specific activity.
While under Academic Warning, the following restrictions apply:
- The student cannot enroll in more than 15 hours of course work during the semester.
- The student may be required to enroll in a 3-credit hour special study skills/time management course specifically designed for students on Academic Warning, or an equivalent course approved by the appropriate associate dean or Chief Academic Officer (CAO) of their campus.
- Students may be required to enter into a contract with their advisor, approved by their department head, that places further stipulations on Academic Warning. The contract may include, but is not limited to the following:
- The student may be required to take at least one repeat course to try to improve their GPA.
- Except for the special study skills/time management course, the student's coursework may be restricted to their major.
- The student may be required to get tutoring help.
- The student may be required to see an academic counselor on a specified time schedule
- The number of credit hours a student may register for may be restricted (due to extenuating circumstances such as the student's workload commitments).
The associate dean or CAO may place the student on Academic Probation I should the student not adhere to the stipulations of the contract.
If the student's semester GPA is less than a 2.0, and the cumulative GPA remains below a 2.0 at the end of the semester on Academic Warning, the student is placed on Academic Probation I. If the semester GPA is greater than 2.0 but the cumulative GPA is still less than 2.0, the student will remain on Academic Warning. If the cumulative GPA is greater than a 2.0 at the end of the semester then the student is returned to Good Academic Standing.
