What is Academic Probation?
Students whose cumulative GPA is below 2.0 will be placed on academic probation for one semester. At the end of that semester, the student’s cumulative GPA must be raised to 2.0, or he or she may be dismissed from the university. • I need to stop out or drop out of Loyola. What should I do? You will need to complete an exit interview with your academic advisor. • My insurance company needs confirmation that I’m a full-time student. Can you fill out this form? No. Please ask the Hub to verify this information for you.
Academic probation means that any one of your overall cumulative GPA, quarterly GPA, engineering GPA, or upper-division engineering GPA has fallen below a 2.0. The School of Engineering will send you a letter should your quarterly GPA fall below a 2.0. This will probably be your first notification that you are on academic probation. Students that are on academic probation are given a contract to follow. Failure to satisfy the terms of the contract is grounds for disqualification from the School of Engineering and UCI. Students are strongly advised to meet with an academic counselor at the first sign of academic trouble. Problems identified early are often easily dealt with.
To maintain satisfactory academic progress, students are required to earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in all Binghamton University courses taken for credit. Students who fail to meet this requirement are put on probation and are expected to raise their average to a 2.0 or better within a reasonable period of time. In many cases, academic probation serves as a serious warning as well as provides students with an opportunity to take corrective action and get back on track.
