Academic Probation Policy
Once fully admitted to the program, students have a responsibility to demonstrate the ability to complete coursework and fieldwork, including the ability to write clearly.
Undergraduate
Undergraduate students are expected to maintain a grade point level of 2.75 or higher in the Teacher Education programs. Education degree students are put on academic probation when their cumulative GPA is below 2.75. Students on academic probation will be allowed to complete the currently enrolled term and must raise their cumulative GPA to the required 2.75 during the next term in which they are enrolled. Concurrent enrollment in coursework is prohibited during academic probation.
Written notification of academic probation will be issued to the student by the Records Office. Failure to raise the cumulative GPA to 2.75 by the end of their probationary period will result in dismissal from the program.

Students on academic probation will be allowed to complete the currently enrolled term and must raise their cumulative GPA to the required 3.0 during the next term in which they are enrolled.
