Students are placed on probation whenever their cumulative grade point average is below 2.0. They are also placed on academic probation for the duration of the regular semester following the one in which they fail to make a C average.  The ramifications of probation on a student's status at the University depend upon the academic unit in which the student is enrolled.  Students who are placed on probation should discuss it with their academic advisor as soon as possible, to learn what is necessary to be allowed to continue with the academic program.
