Academic Warning

Students will be placed on academic warning if their semester Grade Point Average (GPA) falls below 2.00 and/or the end-of-semester review of students' records by the Committee on Academic Standards and Policies raises concern about students' overall academic progress. Students placed on warning will be informed of their status in a letter copied to their academic adviser. If they are placed on academic warning, students are encouraged to meet with their advisers immediately to consider how best to improve their future academic performance. Possible steps to take may include, but are not limited to, adjusting students' future schedules to ensure a manageable workload, contacting the Center for Academic Achievement and Retention (CAAR) to identify helpful resources, developing better time-management and study strategies, and/or speaking with individual instructors about ways to succeed. Students whose Grade Point Average remains below 2.00 for more than one semester may be required to complete the Academic Success Program through the office of student success located in CAAR and/or enroll in GNST 101 as determined by the Committee on Academic Standards and Policies. Students will be informed of such additional requirements in a letter copied to their academic adviser. 

At the end of each semester, the Committee on Academic Standards and Policies will review the records of students on academic warning. On the basis of this review, the committee may recommend an end to the warning period, continued warning, or academic probation.
