Those with a GPA of 3.6 graduate magna cum laude, and those with a GPA of 3.85 or higher graduate summa cum laude. Beginning with the Fall 1999 freshman class, the GPA's for graduation with honors will be 3.5, 3.75 and 3.9, respectively. Less than 2.00 GPA Academic Warning status is an early warning to students who are in danger of being put on probation and as such does not carry any restrictions. Academic Probation policy applies only to fall and spring semesters, not to Summer Session.
Probation is removed at the end of a semester, never at mid-semester.
Failure to remove Academic Probation status the following semester results in academic suspension. Students on Academic Probation are limited to a normal course load and are not eligible to represent the University in extracurricular activities, such as intercollegiate athletics, chorus, debate, band, dramatic productions and student publications. Representing the University includes public performances and trips but not regular meetings and practices. Students on Academic Suspension are required to drop out for at least a full semester. You may attend Summer Session, however, and if you achieve a satisfactory record on a program of summer work approved in advance by the Academic Retention Committee, you may be accepted for readmission for the fall semester.
