What it Means to Be on Probation If you are on probation you are at risk of being dropped from the university. This is a fair indicator of your classification. Once on probation, you have one semester to pull your grades up to a satisfactory level. If you are dropped from the university, it means that you have not made sufficient progress to warrant continuing your education at this university.
Higher education is indeed a privilege.
It does not mean however, that you cannot continue at a later time, at another university, or even this university. What this wake up call does mean, is that it is time for you to get your act together. Whatever you did or were doing the previous year or two, was not working and perhaps you were like many, in denial . Readmission is not automatic As a student who has been dropped from the University because of poor grades, you are urged to carefully evaluate your interests, abilities, and goals. Readmission procedures vary according to whether you have been dropped previously.
