Academic Watch and Academic Alert

Academic Watch 

An undergraduate student is placed on academic watch by their academic unit if:

  • the student’s semester GPA falls below 2.000; or
  • the student qualifies for academic watch under standards set by the student’s academic unit, if applicable.

If the student also qualifies to be placed on academic alert (see below), then the student is placed on academic alert instead of academic watch. 

The goal of academic watch is to notify a student of concerns about thier academic performance; and that they must seek support and address academic challenges to return to good academic standing. 

Academic advisors can assist with the support services needed.
