What is the Academic Probation Policy?
The policy has two levels – academic warning and academic probation. The semester grade point average (GPA) at the end of every fall and spring semester determines the academic status for all students. A semester GPA of less than a 2.00 will result in academic warning (W), probation (P), or dismissal depending on the status at the beginning of that semester. The policy also requires students who have attempted or earned 75 credits or more to maintain a cumulative GPA of a 2.00. A cumulative GPA of less than a 2.00 will place the student on probation (P). The following website (AP at a glance) provides complete definitions, interventions, and outcomes of the new policy (www.iastate.edu/~catalog/ap-glance.pdf).
