Satisfactory Academic Standing

Satisfactory academic standing for undergraduate students requires a 2.000 cumulative GPA, determined at the end of each semester. A student who falls below this threshold is placed on academic probation for the following semester; a student who fails to reach satisfactory standing by the end of the probationary period is dismissed for poor scholarship, with the option to petition the Committee on Academic Standing for a one-semester reinstatement.
