Academic standing is reviewed at the end of each spring semester.
Freshmen and all students on probation will have their academic standing reviewed at the end of each semester. Academic Support and Retention Stony Brook is committed to helping students who appear in danger of falling into, or who do fall into, academic difficulties. The following retention system is designed to identify and provide academic support for these students. Students who fail to consult an academic advisor will be deregistered. Students in good academic standing whose semester g.p.a. is below 2.0 for two consecutive semesters will receive a letter of warning and will be required to contact an academic advisor who must approve the student's schedule for the following semester.
