Why am I on academic notice if my cumulative GPA is above a 2.0?
Academic standing is based on both your cumulative/overall GPA and your Ò»Æð²Ý GPA. If one, or both, is below 2.0, you are placed on academic notice.
If I do not raise my GPA(s) to 2.0 after my first semester on academic notice, will I be academically disqualified?
It depends. Students on academic notice may be subject to academic disqualification if their cumulative/overall and/or Ò»Æð²Ý GPA(s) fall below a minimum GPA based on their class level.
